Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad took shape after a 1983 effort to prevent track abandonment, then began operations on September 5, 1986. This Embroidered Dad Cap Hat celebrates the regional railroad’s blue-and-yellow identity and its role connecting Northern Plains communities. DM&E expanded with former branch lines, acquired I&M Rail Link assets in 2002, and later passed through significant ownership changes. It is a wearable nod to freight rail history for collectors, former route communities, and anyone drawn to the story of a railroad built to keep lines moving.
The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (DM&E) began operations on September 5, 1986, over former Chicago and North Western lines in South Dakota and Minnesota. Its creation followed a 1983 effort to prevent abandonment of track between Pierre and Rapid City, South Dakota; an agreement announced April 24, 1986, established the new railroad, with equipment and buildings included in the purchase. In 1995, DM&E added former Chicago and North Western branches reaching Colony, Wyoming, and Crawford, Nebraska. It acquired the assets of I&M Rail Link in 2002 and renamed that operation the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad (IC&E), joining the two railroads under Cedar American Rail Holdings. Canadian Pacific announced its purchase of DM&E and affiliated companies in September 2007. After regulatory approval on September 30, 2008, Canadian Pacific assumed control on October 30. In 2014, track west of Tracy, Minnesota, was sold to Genesee & Wyoming and became the Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern Railroad. The former DM&E connected communities across the Northern Plains and served agricultural, industrial, and other freight traffic.
