The line was extended southward the following year, from Veblen to Roslyn, and then eastward to Grenville.
The first meeting to discuss the possibility of such a line was held February 4, 1913 at Winans Hall in Harmon Township.
"(Rosholt) proposed that farmers along the right-of-way for the distance of roughly eight to ten miles on each side contribute $200 for each quarter section of land, either owned or farmed.
By this means, Mr. Rosholt hoped to raise one-half the cost of building the railroad, with himself to furnish the balance."
Trackage north of Rosholt remained in use in 2006, operated by Canadian Pacific, the Soo Line's corporate successor.
