A second Amtrak passenger train that will run between St. Paul and Chicago is expected to begin daily service in 2024, after Minnesota lawmakers set aside $10 million for the project.
A yearslong effort to establish a second daily passenger train trip between St. Paul and Chicago received a critical $10 million boost at the Legislature last week, meaning additional service to the Windy City is expected to begin in 2024.
The route runs through Columbus, Portage, Wisconsin Dells and Tomah in south central Wisconsin. It will also make stops in Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, as well as La Crosse.
