  • Bonding Request Update Sept. 2020
    Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago BONDING REQUEST Intercity Passenger Rail Service Project UPDATE SEPT. 2020 TCMC SECOND TRAIN RECEIVES $31.8 MILLION FEDERAL CAPITAL GRANT On Sept. 23, 2020, the US Secretary of Transportation announced a $31.8 million grant through the Federal Railroad Administration for Wisconsin and Minnesota to be used for final design and construction of freight rail track and signal improvements in and around Winona MN, La Crescent MN, and La Crosse WI. The improvements will accommodate the Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago (TCMC) Second Train, a daily round trip passenger train between the Twin Cities and Chicago along the existing Amtrak Empire Builder route. This leaves the state of Minnesota as the only uncommitted partner in making the project a reality. TCMC CAPITAL BUDGET - MN TCMC CAPITAL BUDGET - WI TOTAL $26.9M Federal (COMMITTED) $4.9M Federal (COMMITTED) $31.8M Federal $10M Minnesota (NOT COMMITTED) $6.2M Wisconsin (COMMITTED) $16.2M Local $3.8M Amtrak (COMMITTED) $1.2M Amtrak (COMMITTED) $5M Amtrak $40.7M Minnesota Project Cost $12.3M Wisconsin Project Cost $53M Total Additional support: Federal Railroad Administration awarded $12.569 million to the project for startup operating costs, Amtrak has committed to capital upgrade of the Winona station platform, Canadian Pacific Railway fully supported the federal grant application for rail infrastructure improvements. Legislative Bonding Request $10 million is requested of the Minnesota Legislature. The state will receive, in return, more than $40 million in track and signal improvements in Winona and La Crescent, Minnesota that will benefit both freight and passenger rail. This request is urgent as the FRA expects Second Train project managers to secure matching funds and execute the grant agreement by September 30, 2021.

  • The Watertown Express and the 'Hog and Human': Passenger Service In

The WATERTOWN EXPRESS and the "Hog and Human": M & StL Passenger Service in South Dakota 1884-1960 DONOVAN L. HOFSOMMER In mid-July of 1960 editors of the Minneapolis Tribune found much on the regional scene that they judged to be newsworthy: Minnesotans were heavily engaged in political debate anticipating the general elections of the coming fall; the Hill Lines were rebuffed in their attempts to consummate a huge railroad merger: the speeding AFTERNOON HIAWATHA was derailed near Saint Paul, resulting in injury to several persons; Minneapolitans were enjoying the annual Aquatennial Celebration; and it was hot. One important event was overlooked by the Minneapolis journalists, however. On 21 July passenger service by the Minneapolis & Saint Louis Railway between Minneapolis and Watertown, South Dakota, ended forever. At 10:30 P. M. on 20 July train number thirteen quietly slipped out of the trainsheds at the Great Northern depot in Minneapolis for the last time; its counterpart number fourteen had made its final departure from Watertown an hour and one-half earlier. Without hoopla and almost without notice, a seventy-six year tradition of service ended when these two trains reached their respective terminals in the misty morning hours of 21 July.' 1.

May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

    8. Council Work Session Memorandum TO: City Council FROM: Tim Murray, City Administrator MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: South Central Minnesota Passenger Rail Initiative Discussion: A bill was introduced by Rep. Todd Lippert of Northfield this legislative session (HF 1393) that is requesting $500,000 in funding to prepare a feasibility study and alternatives analysis of a passenger rail corridor connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul to Albert Lea on existing rail line and passing through Faribault and Northfield. Northfield City Councilmember Suzie Nakasian recently reached out to Mayor Voracek regarding this initiative, and Northfield City Administrator Ben Martig has provided the materials they prepared in support of the bill. They are requesting that the Faribault City Council consider adopting a resolution to be submitted in support of the bill. A similar rail proposal was discussed in 2015, but was never funded so a feasibility study was never completed. Support for that proposal included the City of Faribault as well as 40+/- other stakeholders.

  • Saint Paul Union Depot Phase II Analysis
    Summary Saint Paul Union Depot Phase II Analysis Prepared for Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority By LTK Engineering Services in association with Bloom Consultants, LLC Nancy Whelan Consulting Richardson, Richter & Associates, Inc. Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership November 24, 2003 Contact for additional information: Kathryn DeSpiegelaere, Director Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority 665 Ramsey County Government Center West 50 West Kellogg Boulevard Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Phone 651 266 2762 [email protected] 2 Introduction The purpose of the Phase II study of Union Depot was to describe how several different modes of public transportation now serving, or proposed to serve, downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, can fit together in a thoughtfully designed multi-modal transit terminal located at Saint Paul Union Depot (see map illustrating location of Union Depot on Page 4). It follows a Phase I study that analyzed alternative locations for the multi-modal transit terminal and resulted in a preferred site location, that of St. Paul Union Depot. Union Depot offers the best opportunity for a facility that can meet the needs of the city, region and state, and enhance the role of St. Paul and the Twin Cities as a central place for the upper Midwest. Although the opportunity for creative reuse of a significant architectural monument is an obvious benefit of this concept, in fact the proposed terminal would be a modern facility, incorporating today’s and tomorrow’s transportation modes in a thoroughly contemporary way. It is the combination of modern functionality and stirring architecture that makes the Union Depot multi-modal transit facility concept so appealing.
