Its first train of passenger cars arrived here on the steamboat Key City on the morning of June 28, 1862, and was immediately transferred to the track. In the afternoon of the same day the locomotive, Wil- 138 MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY COLLECTIONS. liain Crooks, which had arrived previously, was backed down the track, c...oupled to the cars, and took a distinguished party of citizens to St. Anthony and back. Instead of attempting to fill in a roadbed through that quagmire, from Trout brook to the station, they drove piles and built their track on them. The Eiver Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway also came into the city on piles through or over that quagmire, for the same reason that it had apparently no bottom. Both roads gradu- ally filled in a roadbed. Xow, all that flat has been tilled until it is from a few feet to ten feet, or more, above its former level.
