Beginning in late 2009, the Northstar Commuter Rail Line will offer efficient transportation from Big Lake to downtown Minneapolis, helping ease traffic congestion-and the resulting emissions-in one of the state's fastest growing travel corridors.

Trains can carry the equivalent of nearly one-and-a-half lanes of highway traffic at peak travel times-up to 7,200 riders per day. Operating on existing tracks, trains will reach a top speed of 79 mph.
