Restore the North Coast Hiawatha
The North Coast Hiawatha ran from Chicago through Minnesota, southern North Dakota, and southern Montana to Seattle. Amtrak estimates that this route would have over 350,000 riders a year and is currently looking for sources of funding.
Among other places, this route would bring service to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. Students there have created a petition, and if you are in one of the states that would be served by this route, you can sign here:
The Bring Back Amtrak website has a map of the proposed route and proposed actions. As more and more people leave cars for other forms of transportation, we need to start moving those subsidies as well.

Minneapolis, MN
Of Interest: deserted warehouses?
Hotels: yes, but the walk is not safe
Tourist Office: no
Restrooms: yes, but in very bad condition (3 of 4 toilets were clogged when I was there.)
Accessible: if you can get driven to the door, maybe. Do not expect the staff to know how to help with anything.
Safe at night: no
Other transit: nothing meets the evening train
If someone on a city council somewhere who thought that the rate of diabetes was not high enough got together with someone who thought there just weren't enough rapes to design a station area, it would be Minneapolis Station.
Fortunately, only the daily westbound train stops at night. Unfortunately, you may be stuck here for up to an hour. The eastbound train passes through early in the morning.
Minneapolis is six and a half hours from Milwaukee and eight hours from Chicago. Heading west, it takes the train four hours to get to Fargo, ND. The train continues on through Montana before splitting in Spokane more than twenty-four hours later. Part of the train continues on to Seattle, while the rest goes to Portland. Usually the section headed for Seattle is the more crowded
