The Soo Line Depot, located in Crosby, in the U.S. state of Minnesota was built in 1910 using stone and brick.[3] The building is located at 101 1st Street, Northeast in Crosby, Minnesota; it initially served as a railroad depot for the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway, later Soo Line Railroad from 1961. It was part of a 1908–1910 project to build a line from Superior, Wisconsin to Thief River Falls, Minnesota,[4] along with a branchline (on which Crosby lay) to tap the Cuyuna iron ore range.
It is now used as the Cuyuna Range Historical Society and Soo Line Depot Museum.[3]
