History

The BW&GF started as the Bismarck, Washburn & Fort Buford Railroad in 1889 by General William D. Washburn, a U.S. Senator and Surveyor-General from Minnesota. He was the main owner of the Washburn-Crosby Flour Mills. By 1903, the railroad ran from Bismarck to Washburn, a distance of 44.81 miles.[1] In 1904, the road was extended to Underwood.[2]

The railroad primarily carried passengers, mail, coal, and grain.[3] It also included a steamboat operation.[4]

In 1903, the railroad owned 3 steam engines, 2 passenger cars, 34 freight cars, and 1 caboose.[5] In 1901, the BW&GF was one of the first US railroads to roster the Mikado 2-8-2 steam engine design.[6]

The railroad was purchased by the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway in 1904.[7]
