Dakota Rail ROW in Mound |
| Description: |
Coincidentally the Mound Transit Center, which has express bus service to Minneapolis, is next to the Dakota Rail ROW. No official plans for some type of rail transit on this corridor, but perhaps someone was thinking about the future when deciding where to put a transit center in Mound. |
