A portion of the line will run through neighboring Wisconsin to serve Duluth's "Twin Port" of Superior. Plans are to upgrade an existing BNSF Railway freight line to allow trains to travel at up to 110 miles per hour (177 km/h). The train service will provide an alternative to traveling Interstate 35 between Duluth and the Twin Cities or to other destinations along the line such as the casino in Hinckley.The train will mostly follow the same route as Amtrak's former North Star, except that it will originate in Minneapolis rather than neighboring Saint Paul, and it is planned to stop at a suburban Twin Cities station (probably constructed at Metro Transit's Foley Boulevard bus station). The route follows part of the Northstar commuter rail route which opened in 2009, and will contain the entirety of the proposed Bethel Corridor commuter route, although that service is not expected to be operational by the time NLX opens.. }
