Operated jointly by Metro Transit and Amtrak, this route offers travelers a convenient and comfortable means of transportation between the two cities. The journey begins at the U.S. Bank Stadium Station in downtown Minneapolis, where passengers board the train and embark on a captivating voyage southward. The route follows the eastern bank of the mighty Mississippi River, providing passengers with stunning views of the river's meandering course and the surrounding natural beauty. Covering a distance of approximately 223 kilometers (139 miles), the Minneapolis to La Crosse route typically takes around 3 hours and 26 minutes to complete. With speeds reaching up to 130 kilometers per hour (79 miles per hour), passengers can enjoy a swift and efficient journey between the two cities.

Its operation is carefully coordinated to ensure the safe and efficient transit of both rail and water traffic.
