https://dot.state.mn.us/nlx/about.htmlSince this looks increasingly realistic, I have some basic questions for people more in the know:
- Would this be double tracked the entire way? Or would there be timed passes? Or would there be just a single trainset operating each day, going back and forth?
- Assuming it would use diesel locomotives and nothing would be electrified? Are there any plans for electrification?
- If this funding passes by the end of the session, when would this service expected to launch?
MnDOT indicates four round trips per day. This document shows the proposed improvements along the cooridor.
