New Name, New Train: Great River Rail Commission Advocates for Second Train to Chicago

Great River Rail - February 19, 2019


In 2009, elected officials from 17 cities and counties along the Mississippi River from St. Paul to La Crescent banded together to advocate for expanded passenger rail service. In January, that group chose a new name for itself-the Great River Rail Commission. The Minnesota High Speed Rail Commission is changing its name to the Great River Rail Commission to better fit its mission and purpose.
