I've heard from a few sources that regardless of who's road it is, all the traffic signals are controlled by St Paul. (Well the ones in St Paul)

Same St Paul Public Works who control the signals on the green line?

I've always assumed there's an unofficial policy that we don't call out St Paul for their terrible signals.

Officially, that train was late due to bar signals at Robert st and Minnesota st.

On Monday I saw a tree by east bank, it was lemon colored at the bottom and perfectly faded to bing cherry at the top. Gorgeous.

What race are you doing tomorrow?

It used to be worse, but probably the last several months it doesn't happen often, where door holders delay a train long enough to lose the signal. And typically once you've waited at the light and get the signal back you're in the next wave so it shouldn't effect the next one.

Lol, trains aren't leaving downtown St Paul 8 minutes down because of door holders.

It's got the same Achilles heel as the green line though...

I can tell you that yesterday, 9/12, the US Army Corps of Engineers in St Paul was flying at full staff lol

So was the next train in 21 minutes?
September 10, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Yes, the children have returned. Coincidentally, trains aren't held up by people walking on the roadway portion. Just sayin.

One of my trains today had a passenger counter failure, which is super rare for type 2s. If that train has had the issue for a while that could easily throw the numbers down by 2k a day...
