Southeast Minnesota Rail Alliance
Rochester-area leaders have been interested in the issue of f
reight and passenger rail service for decades. In September 2008, our leaders formalized this support by establishing the Southeast Minnesota Rail Alliance, a group of organizations, including the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce, and individuals working toward a 21st Century integrated rail vision to meet the transportation needs of the entire region for generations to come.
SE MN Rail Alliance asks community:
"What would you name the train?"
The Southeast Minnesota Rail Alliance is seeking the commu
nity’s help to name the proposed high-speed passenger rail service to Rochester. Once selected, the name will be used to promote and advance the route with the general public and decision makers.
“We are calling on the collective creativity of Southeast Minnesota residents to help name the train,” says Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede, a member of the Alliance. “Names might note our unique geological characteristics, rich history, regional wildlife or notable industries. But we are looking for all ideas, including those that are considered ‘outside-the-box.’”
Interested residents can submit their ideas at www.semnrail.org. The Alliance will solicit public input through Dec. 31, and announce the name in mid-January. Throughout the effort, the Alliance will provide updates through its Facebook page and Twitter account (@semnrail). The Minnesota portion of the proposed high-speed passenger rail line will serve Rochester and neighboring communities with a route that will head north to the Twin Cities, likely with a hub/stop in Dakota County.
