I've got a trip to this station planned in a month, so I'll provide a brief report afterward.
It's a shame they sunk so much money into the service for 1x/day each way. MSP strikes me as a nice hub for another RT to Chicago every day, a 1-2x/day to Duluth, and a Grand Forks train (didn't GN have one of these?). GIven the left-leanings of Minnesota, I'm surprise they haven't looked at some sort of state-sponsored trains. After driving to Duluth once (and doing it again soon), I'd love to take the train all the way.
