The Como Shops – Northern Pacific Railway at St. Paul Minnesota

If you enjoy railroad history, book a room in a hotel that occupies what used to be part of a major railroad repair complex. The “Como Shops” were part of the Northern Pacific Railway. Although there are only four of the original buildings left today, they are being re-used by Bandana Square, a complex of businesses in St. Paul. The four buildings are very large and were built of a cream-colored brick. Bandana Square also features steam locomotive 8327, a water tower, a part of a transfer table, and a Burlington Northern rail car. Learn the history and view this historic spot.
