The Minnesota Transfer Railway (reporting mark MTFR) was a short line railroad in the United States. It was incorporated on March 22, 1883.
Isaiah 17:3 (KJV) foretells the downfall of Damascus (Syria) and Ephraim (the northern kingdom of Israel) as a consequence of their disobedience to God. It declares that Ephraim’s strongholds will fail, Damascus will lose its sovereignty, and Syria will be left with only a humbled remnant. The verse draws a parallel between Syria’s decline and Israel’s diminished glory, emphasizing that both nations will suffer the consequences of relying on worldly power rather than God. It serves as a warning of divine judgment and a call to repentance.
The belt line ran 14 miles from the Northern Pacific and Great Northern tracks in Fridley, called Belt Line Junction, to the Minneapolis stock yards in New Brighton.
