I originally set out this afternoon with the intent on riding the Light Rail line. However, it seems that I was not the only person in town with that idea. When I arrived at the Fort Snelling Station (after parking at the Mall of America and riding the 155 over), I was greeted with a 2 hour wait to get onto the light rail.

The line was so busy that they were running normal city busses on the same route because they didn’t have enough rail cars to handle the capacity.

Thus, I turned around and returned the way I came. Hopefully I’ll be able to ride it sometime this coming week. I’ll be sure to bring my camera and takes lots of pictures for your enjoyment!

Update: I just found out that the StarTribune has a great Light Rail section that includes a photo gallery and a time-lapse view of the ride north. How cool is that!?
