The M\u0026amp;StL was founded in 1870, and expanded through line construction and acquisition until the early 20th century. Most of the railway's routes saw only relatively light traffic, and consequently the company's financial position was frequently precarious; the railroad operated under bankruptcy protection between 1923 and 1943. The M\u0026amp;StL was acquired by the Chicago and North Western Railway in 1960, and much of its former trackage was later abandoned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1956 it reported 1550 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 2 million passenger-miles on 1397 route-miles and 1748 track-miles operated; those totals don't include the 117-mile Minnesota Western.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Transportation Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67628089737445,"sku":"dbt1791433533510","price":11.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/3627\/1589\/files\/minneapolis-st-louis-railway-license-plate_1_571691c5-a173-4edd-8e23-ce70a985996d.jpg?v=1791433586","url":"https:\/\/www.autraemall.com\/products\/minneapolis-st-louis-railway-license-plate","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
