Sunflour purchased the Rosholt-Veblen trackage in 2000, after the Soo Line had requested permission to abandon that portion of the route.
[1] In 2012, the trackage from Veblen to Claire City was “abandoned”, even though the tracks and ties were removed years earlier.
[2] The Sunflour Railroad apparently operated for only a short time, although the trackage remains intact in 2006.
The railroad's only locomotive, an EMD SW1 switcher, currently rests on a siding at Victor, South Dakota.
The Sunflour Railroad was an optional name in the developing process for the monopoly board game, hence where it got its name.
