Passenger Rail Expands Across the State with Borealis Train

Frederica Freyberg:
This week, a new Amtrak passenger train made its debut in Wisconsin.
The Amtrak Borealis now runs round-trip daily between Chicago and Minneapolis, with eight stops along the way in Wisconsin. It joins the existing but slower Amtrak Empire Builder along the same route through the state.

Kristina Boardman:
It’s been 22 years since we’ve expanded passenger rail in Wisconsin, and this long-awaited train will provide more convenience and flexibility for commuters, families, students and tourists to get where they need to go.
