It s a go for second daily train to Chicago from St. Paul June 29, 2021 6:09am Text size Copy shortlink:
A yearslong effort to establish a second daily passenger train trip between St. Paul and Chicago received a critical $10 million boost at the Legislature last week, meaning additional service to the Windy City is expected to begin in 2024.
Money from the state part of a $7 billion omnibus transportation bill signed by Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday was the final piece needed to jump-start the additional round-trip service to Chicago s Union Station. This is a major victory, said Brian Nelson, president of All Aboard Minnesota, a St. Paul-based passenger rail advocacy group.
