History

Construction of the line began in 1904. The new towns were created along the line are as follows: Crooks, Colton, Huntimer, Chester, Nunda, Sinai, Lyons, Lake Norden, Ahnberg, Rutland, Badger, Thomas, Foley, and Hayti.[1] Frederick Maytag invested in the railroad in 1904. At about the same time he established the Maytag Company which made washing machines.[2]

The railroad suffered chronic financial difficulties.[3] It went into receivership in 1908 and was sold in 1916 in accordance with a bankruptcy court order. It was bought by the Watertown and Sioux Falls Railway, which itself was sold to the Great Northern Railway in December 1928.[4][5]

Maytag lost money on his railroad investment, and even reimbursed friends who invested in the venture on his advice.[2]
