Amtrak today announced it will put a second train into service later this month, serving communities between the Twin Cities and Chicago.
Tickets are on sale now for the May 21 launch of the highly anticipated Borealis trains, offering a second daily service through La Crosse, Tomah and Winona, Minnesota. The trains will follow the route of Amtrak`s Empire Builder between the Midwestern cities and make all the same stops.
"A second daily passenger rail service connecting St. Paul to Chicago via Milwaukee is a welcome addition to our transportation system, providing more choices and travel flexibility for passengers," said Minnesota Department of Transportation Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger.
The new service will make traveling between the three states easier, and reduce the need for travelers to drive, allowing for more sustainable and productive travel, according to a news release from Amtrak Midwest...
...The Borealis trains will depart from St. Paul at 11:50 a.m. and arrive in Chicago by 7:14 p.m., and depart from Chicago at 11:05 a.m. and arrive in St. Paul at 6:29 p.m.
