Amtrak could join national passenger rail network in 2012

Estimate made by State Transportation Secretary


10/09/2008

Amtrak service to and from Madison could arrive by late 2012, according to Wisconsin's Transportation Secretary in the Madison Capital Times Oct. 9 and a subsequent WisDOT announcement.

According to the report: "Wisconsin has put rail lines in place, and the route has already passed environmental muster with the U.S. Department of Transportation. And the state Legislature has already authorized bonding for $80 million to put toward the state's 20 percent share of the $441 million cost."

A subsequent WisDOT announcement said service could begin as soon as December 2012, if all goes as planned. Read the full report here.

A Capital Times columnist says Oct. 20 there's "good news at last for passenger rail" with the vote. Click here.
