The South Dakota Central Railway was a railroad that ran between the cities of Sioux Falls and Watertown. The railroad was organized and operated by local businessmen.[1] Sioux Falls lawyer Joe Kirby served as the railroad's vice president and attorney.



History[edit]


Construction of the line began in 1904. The new towns were created along the line are as follows: Crooks, Colton, Huntimer, Chester, Nunda, Sinai, Lyons, Lake Norden, Ahnberg, Rutland, Badger, Thomas, Foley, and Hayti.[2]Frederick Maytag invested in the railroad in 1904. At about the same time he established the Maytag Company which made washing machines.[3]


The railroad suffered chronic financial difficulties.[4] It went into receivership in 1908 and was sold in 1916 in accordance with a bankruptcy court order. It eventually came under the control of the Great Northern Railway.[5]


Maytag lost money on his railroad investment, and even reimbursed friends who invested in the venture on his advice.[6]

An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
