While <br />not constituting an endorsement of commuterrail, it lays out a <br />phased financial and operational plan that the Legislature could use if <br />it decides to invest state money in passenger service for commuters <br />on tracks now used by private railroads to move freight. <br /> <br />The Northstar Corridor is served by the Burlington Northern Sante <br />Fe railroad from Minneapolis to St. Cloud. The state studied the 30 <br />miles of rail to Elk River and has concluded that service initially <br />should extend only as far as Ramsey. Capital costs of implementing <br />commuterrail service on the 23-mile Ramsey route would be $195 <br />million in 2003 dollars. About 3,400 people would ride that line each <br />day, according to the state study by Parsons BrinckerhotT consultants. <br /> <br />Ranked second for implementation is the 18-mile Hastings to St. Paul <br />route, which would cost $178 million in 2003 dollars and have about <br />2,300 riders a day. <br /> <br />In third place is the 31-mile route Lakeville to Minneapolis route, <br />which would cost $282 million in 2003 dollars and carry about 4,700 <br />people a day. The $655 million total cost of these routes includes all <br />system costs and the cost of a connection between Minneapolis and <br />5t. Paul. <br /> <br />In 2005, annual operating expenses for the three lines are estimated <br /> <br />http://www2.startribune.com!cgi-bin/ stOnLine/ article?thisSlug= RAIL 15&date= 15- Dec-98&worllmm&vord=c <br />
