On one of my visits to Minneapolis, I took the relatively new Borealis train run by Amtrak. It was nice enough, and the second photo posted on this blog was taken from a moving train on that run, if you remember back that far. For the return trip, I got to the depot in St. Paul pretty early, and while this photo isn’t entirely lacking people, there are all of three in the first two rows, far enough away that you really have to zoom in to notice them.

I love that there’s still train service at all, and I love that the Twin Cities and Amtrak have done such a great job of restoring and maintaining this station. I still prefer flight, but the train trips itself were pretty good, and I thought Union Depot was just perfect.
