WELCOME TO THE MINNESOTA REGIONAL RAILROADS ASSOCIATION

Serving Minnesota Since 1987

The Minnesota Regional Railroads Association was formed in 1987 to better inform the public about Minnesota’s railroads. These railroads serve every corner of the state and have a developed mix of freight commodities.

The Minnesota Regional Railroads Association is organized to:

  • Exchange of useful information among the members, with opportunities for networking
  • Sharing information with the general public and with elected policy officials on Minnesota's transportation needs
  • Providing technical assistance and training for our membership
  • Carrying out legislative advocacy with all levels of government concerning small railroad issues
