Northstar Rail!

[Tetreves]

I was checking out the Northstar Commuter Line's website:

www.mn-getonboard.com (http://www.mn-getonboard.com/)

I had never checked it out before, I just knew that the Northstar line was supposed to head from Downtown MPLS to St. Cloud (eventually).

But if I'm reading that map right, I could ride my bike to downtown, hop on a train, and be a few blocks from Hillside!

That'll be neat!

I wish they'd make a rail system going down 100/169 corridor...maybe to lebanon or perhaps the farm?

I'd be all for it, I'm a bit north of ER, and hate driving. If the fastest they say it can be in service is 4 years... knowing the way things normally work it will probably be over 4 years:(

You know what...it's not the london underground or british national rail, it's not the TGV, or ICE, or MRT, or Eurostar, but at least they're trying...

[ryno lite]

yep, gotta start somewhere!

To bad they didn't run the light rail down the SouthWest Trail. Would of made a lot more sense. A route with less road crossings, a route people actually commute on....

At least the Northstar makes sense.
