The **Northern Pacific Depot** in [Finlayson, Minnesota](/source/Finlayson,_Minnesota), United States, is a one-story wood frame passenger depot built on the [Northern Pacific Railway](/source/Northern_Pacific_Railway) line in 1909 to replace an earlier smaller depot. The rail line was originally built by the [Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad](/source/Lake_Superior_and_Mississippi_Railroad) in 1870. Its successor, the [St. Paul and Duluth Railroad](/source/St._Paul_and_Duluth_Railroad) first located a depot in Finlayson in the mid 1880s. The line was acquired by the Northern Pacific Railway in 1900. In 1970, the line became part of [Burlington Northern](/source/Burlington_Northern), which abandoned the line in 1977. Today, the former right-of-way is part of the [Willard Munger State Trail](/source/Willard_Munger_State_Trail).

The interior of the depot consists of a freight room at the southern end, the office at the center, and the waiting room at the northern end. The office's trackside bay window is flanked by a wide freight door to the south and a single-leafed five paneled passenger entrance to the north.[1]

Finlayson depot lost passenger service on January 4, 1967.[2]
