The Board of Incorporators of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation has noted the position taken by the city council. We are considering the possibility of buildinq a new station midway between St. Paul and Minneapolis to serve both cities. In the meantime, the high operating costs of operating the St. Paul Union Depot and the close proximity of St. Paul to Minneapolis (ten miles) led to our decision not to stop in St. Paul until the prospects for a new station could be explored in detail. We appreciate your city's interest in the difficult decisions we face. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, � ,� w`",;.'"�,w� _ IW oe G.
