Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad Hoodie / Sweatshirt

Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad started service in 1986 after a determined effort to preserve routes across South Dakota and Minnesota. This Hoodie / Sweatshirt honors the railroad’s Northern Plains story, distinctive blue-and-yellow identity, and role in connecting communities through freight service. Later branch acquisitions and the 2002 addition of I&M Rail Link assets broadened its reach, while subsequent ownership changes carried its history forward. A comfortable way to express an interest in regional railroads, railroad memorabilia, and the communities shaped by their lines.

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.
