Current Commuter Corridor
The Dan Patch Corridor from Northfield and Minneapolis broadly parallels the major commuter route of Interstates 35 and 35W, and proponents expect the service to siphon traffic from those highways. The line is proposed to use existing track and right-of-way owned by the Soo Line Railroad, being significantly cheaper than building a new rail corridor. Parts of the rail line are served by Progressive Rail and Twin Cities and Western Railroad as well as Soo Line (doing business as Canadian Pacific Railway), though the line from Savage to Lakeville is out of service.
