Minneapolis Transit
Hiawatha Light Rail

Minneapolis

The Twin Cities area has opened its first Light Rail line. The Hiawatha Line starts in downtown Minneapolis. It's original terminal was Ft Snelling. Later in opened to Mall of America via Twin Cities Int'l Airport. The station at the main terminal of the airport is underground. Most of the line is at grade, with some elevated portions.

Now if you have a long layover at MSP, you can hop on a Light Rail train to downtown, or to the Mall of America. The webmaster did this exact scenario on the opening day of the Airport station in December 2004. Below are the stations visited during that layover.
