Limited Trains Taken Off Between Twin Cities and Chicago
The service from St. Paul to Minneapolis and Chicago will end this Sunday due to insufficient winter business. Trains may resume April 1 for summer service, but experts say the twelve hour limited trains were experimental and unlikely to pay without extra taxes. Four weekday trains and twelve on Sundays currently run, and half that number would likely suffice.
