The Great River Rail Commission aims to increase passenger rail options along the Mississippi River Route between the Twin Cities and Chicago. The Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago Intercity Passenger Rail Service (TCMC Second Train project) will do just that. A second daily round-trip train now, to complement the existing Amtrak Empire Builder service, is a great first step toward more frequent and faster passenger rail service in the future.
The Great River Rail Commission is hosting a Virtual Town Forum for Red Wing on Thursday, March 11, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for the community to learn about the project, ask questions, and share feedback. The VIrtual Town Forum will be co-hosted by the Red Wing Area Chamber of Commerce.
