Project summaryThe Willmar Rail Connector and Industrial Park Access Project (Willmar Wye) will provide a direct connection between the Marshall and Morris Subdivisions of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail network. Providing this direct connection will decrease the number of trains that need to pull into the rail yard in Downtown Willmar. The project also includes a rail spur that will provide access to the City of Willmar's industrial park.
