Amtrak: Empire Builder and Borealis (TCMC)
Re: Amtrak: Empire Builder and Great River (TCMC)
I thought it might be worthwhile to build a station over Central Avenue here. Then in the future you could build light rail up Central or if they wanted to build a branch line to the St. Paul Campus and Fairground they could build a station at the transitway bridge over the railroad.

Out of curiosity when comparing TF and SPUD, which station to you guys think is currently as is and which one do you think has more potential if they actually had frequent train device?

I'm thinking SPUD, mainly because they have more room to put trains if need be and the Empire Builder doesn't have to back up a mile or so (which I'm sure would be a deal breaker for BNSF for Target Field).

Mod note: split discussion of the FRA Long-Distance study off to its own thread.

All Aboard Minnesota has an update in their Q1 Newsletter. Still no start date, but apparently operating agreements are nearing completion. The service will be named the Borealis. Thematically appropriate if the long-term intent is to combine it with NLX once that gets going.

The Horizon cars are more comfortable than the new Venture cars IMO, so I'm glad about that.
