With the coming of the railroad, Rosholt was growing. Lumber and potatoes
      were the number one businesses. About October 15, 1903, the whistle of the
      first train in the village could be heard.  It was known as the Rosholt Flier
with engine No. 932.  People would take Sunday afternoon rides on the train.
A fatal train wreck on February 12, 1904 caused damage when it overshot the end
of the train tracks and nearly ended up in the creek.  Engineer Dan Costello was killed.
The train ran for many years later, but in 1956 it stopped.
