DME Huron Subdivision is a railway line owned, maintained and operated by the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (DME). The line stretches for 136 miles across southwestern Minnesota and southeastern South Dakota, forming the major artery of DME's freight traffic. Originally the line was a part of the Chicago and North Western Railway.
The line is dark territory, meaning that it is not signalled and not equipped with centralized traffic control or automatic block signalling systems. The line is dispatched via radio using track warrant control.
Huron Subdivision connects with Tracy Subdivision at Tracy, Minnesota, as well as Pierre Subdivision and Yale Spur Subdivision at Huron, South Dakota.
