Thank you, @RepFinstad, for witnessing firsthand the critical role rail plays in southwestern Minnesota.
Freight rail connects farmers to markets, supports local businesses, and helps sustain the communities that depend on a strong transportation network!
Farmers and rural communities in southwestern Minnesota rely on rail to get their grain to market and bring ag supplies to the area. A big thank you to the folks at Buffalo Ridge Regional Rail Authority and the Rock and Nobles County leaders who joined me in Luverne yesterday to discuss local railroad operations and updates on federal resources available to improve the railroad infrastructure that keeps our ag economy moving and our communities connected.

My final video features the MILW 261 coming back into Montevideo, completing their second and final run to Granite Falls. We would soon hop on (First Class this time!) and ride it to Appleton and back. #Trains youtu.be/pGzSmu92qJg?is=HVpL…

Here is a video of the MILW 261 coming back into Montevideo after making their first run of two out to Granite Falls, MN. We had set up in one spot in Granite, but they elected to not go as far east, so we had to chase it back west to find it. #Trains youtu.be/eS7zOo1s4w4?is=T1SA…
