A while ago, I found a very helpful website called Bob Cozby's Railroad Line, Passenger Train, and Station Index which lists a wide variety of fallen flags, the named and unnamed trains which towns hosted, and branch lines of class Is and class IIs alike. During my research, I noticed that four branch lines for the railroad (listed below) have the same note: "carries Adult Male passengers only". This means that for some reason, the Minneapolis and St. Paul barred women from riding their mixed trains. Does anyone happen to know why this is so, and if there are other similar examples of odd railroad rules for passengers/freight customers which you can list?
