Passenger rail
The vision for passenger rail is to develop a robust intercity passenger rail system which results in improved travel options, costs and accessibility for Minnesota and interstate travelers. The improvements would allow for a comprehensive network of passenger rail services and the preservation and continued growth of freight rail service in Minnesota, with connections to destinations beyond the State’s borders.
Existing service
- Borealis (Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago)
