St. Paul Union Depot by train

Lowertown art and a quiet neighborhood park

The MSP station code refers to Union Depot in St. Paul's Lowertown, not Minneapolis or the airport. These stops stay close to the depot; a visit to Minneapolis requires a separate local journey.

Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
