- The Northern Pacific Railroad Shops in Brainerd, Minnesota are a good example of how old brick buildings can be converted into useable business space today. Although only a handful of the original railroad shop buildings at Brainerd still remain in 2023, most of them are being converted for other uses. Throughout the years, the Brainerd Railroad Shops employed thousands of people inside their rare architectural structures. It is important that some of these places are preserved for their historical significance and their link to many families today. It is easy to walk around the complex and view the buildings today, as several paths have been made. View the grounds as they exist in 2023, and see a few flashbacks to the past.

Great tour. Thanks for sharing.
Damn... They just don't make industrial buildings with the architectural charm of late 19th century brick and stone work anymore... Thanks for this,, 👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄
Great video. Makes me want to visit.
I am taking my family from Silver Lake up to Brainerd this weekend. We will for sure be visiting the Northern Pacific Railroad Shops, thanks for the great videos and it’s sad to see that they didn’t save more of the property. Thanks again!
Great videos! Thanks for coming to Brainerd!
This is historic good for all to see and know
Great grandpa work there 1913-1956 ,and my grandpa work there 1955 - 1961 (passed away at 41).Last name was Lake..
One building l would like to see the inside of is the power station.
Costs across midwest FOR BULK ORES GRAINS RAW GOODS..
IS ONLY BETTERED BY RIVERS CANALS ETC...
RR COSTS WERE LOW , TIMED AND DEPENDABLE...
HMMMM
Yeah it's really too bad that the railroad left really wonder why?
Trucks are better for most things except bulk like ore or massive quantities of chemicals like butadiene or ammonia... Even cars are being just thrown on a trailer instead of those vehicle transport cars that used to be like heaven to tramps that would ride across the country sitting in the front seat of a new car...
