Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad Infant Bodysuit
Product Details & Size Guide
The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad began operations in 1986, carrying forward routes that local organizers worked to keep from abandonment. This Infant Bodysuit introduces the railroad’s Northern Plains story to the next generation of rail fans, with a nod to its distinctive blue-and-yellow identity and service across South Dakota and Minnesota. DM&E grew through branch acquisitions and later ownership transitions, leaving a memorable place in regional freight history. A charming choice for railroad families, future train enthusiasts, and collectors celebrating the line’s community connections.
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.
