Study backs St. Paul as terminus of second Amtrak train to Chicago
Amtrak has published a new study looking at the possibility of adding a second daily round-trip trip from Chicago to the Twin Cities.
The verdict? While a stop in Minneapolis or St. Cloud might yield more revenue, the most realistic scenario in terms of reliable scheduling and infrastructure would be to roll into St. Paul's Union Depot and then head back to the Windy City.

The 28-page study notes that a route from Chicago to St.Paul could always be extended to Minneapolis or St. Cloud in the future. The full study is online at dot.state.mn.us/passengerrail/mn-chicago-study.html.
