South Dakota Leads Nation in Railroad Building Boom
South Dakota tops the nation for new railroad construction this year with nearly 1000 miles planned. Three Missouri River to Black Hills lines are under construction, including three bridges at the Missouri River costing about 1 million dollars each. The Dakota Content line from Sioux Falls to Watertown is expanding, paralleled by the Milwaukee Road from Madison to Watertown, with two to three additional extensions in northern areas. The rail expansion opens up new territory and spurs town growth, while immigration rises this spring. Land prices in western-adjacent districts stay low but are rising toward Iowa levels due to improving routes and land access.
