Brainerd Subdivision


The Brainerd Subdivision is a rail line owned and operated by BNSF Railway. It runs from Staples, Minnesota to Duluth, Minnesota.
It is about 150 miles from Staples, Minnesotato Duluth, Minnesota.
It was built and owned by Northern Pacific Railway.
In 1970, the Northern Pacific merged with other railroads to form the Burlington Northern Railroad, but then in 1996, merged with Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to form BNSF Railway.
The rail line gets about 8-12 trains daily, most of which are coal.

Railyard

The Brainerd Sub has one railyard, and is very small.
Most of the yard is MOW Equipment, because of BNSF Brainerd Shops.
The railyard also has a small line that leads to Brainerd Industrial.
