Our new years resolution? New passenger rail lines!

The immense success of the Borealis service between Saint Paul and Chicago proves that Minnesotans want more passenger rail options.

The success of the Borealis service between Saint Paul and Chicago proves that Minnesotans want more passenger rail options. AAMN will work this session on HF3176 / SF2887 - to jump start two new rail corridors in MN. Let your legislators know you support this bill!

Nona Hill of All Aboard Wisconsin talks about why she supports expanded passenger rail. Why do you want to see more passenger rail in the Midwest?

We had a strong turnout again at our annual meeting in November. A highlight was our legislative panel, featuring Peter Wagenius of @sierraclubmn.bsky.social and legislative leaders Senator Scott Dibble and Rep. Erin Koegel. We also heard from Ken Bueller about the Northern Lights Express!

Not only is train travel economically beneficial and environmentally friendly...it's fun. Video from the Empire Builder on the way to Milwaukee, taken by Alexander Furneaux.

Why does Glen of New Hope, Minnesota support passenger rail?

"It’s a no-brainer. Every city along the route with a stop benefits economically. It’s easy, efficient and a wonderfully pleasant way to travel."

@mndot.mn.gov estimates every St Paul-Chicago trip by train, instead of car, saves $296. $88 comes in social benefits-safety, emissions and crash reduction. The rest goes to the rider, due to reduced cost of operating a personal vehicle. Increased rail service is a no-brainer! @hsrail.bsky.social

Saint Paul Union Depot used to see 300 trains a day.

We're working to restore service and expand fast, comfortable, frequent intercity passenger train services within and beyond Minnesota. Where would you like to be able to go by train?

Did you know we are advocating for TWO new passenger rail routes?

We're garnering support from key leaders for additional passenger rail service between Twin Cities ↔ Fargo and new service between the Twin Cities ↔ Kansas City.

Another busy fall day at the Red Wing Amtrak Station with passengers headed south toward Winona and beyond at about noon. The northbound train from Chicago arrives daily in Red Wing about 6 pm.

Like Minnesota, the state of Missouri has a state-supported passenger train - the Missouri River Runner - connecting Kansas City and St. Louis, stopping at eight cities in between.

Join us in advocating for more state supported trains including St. Paul to Fargo and the Twin Cities to Kansas City.

We need a ROBUST national network. Love to see this win for the Gulf Coast!

All I want is a train from St. Paul to Kansas City.
Would you like to take a train from St Paul to Albert Lea? What about from Faribault to Des Moines? The re-establishment of train service between the Twin Cities ⇆ Des Moines ⇆ Kansas City is possible.
