Welcome to Zip Rail

Zip Rail is the proposed high-speed passenger rail service between Rochester and the Twin Cities. Traveling at speeds of 150-220+ mph, it will be Minnesota’s first true high-speed rail line.

Here’s where you can learn more about the vision for Zip Rail and find out some key facts about the high-speed rail line and destinations. You’ll probably have a lot of questions, so we’ve answered those that are often asked. And we’ll be adding more to this site in the weeks ahead, so remember to bookmark this link and come back often.
