Madison’s mayor is predicting a Milwaukee-to-Madison Amtrak line within five years.
Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway yesterday said money from the new, massive federal infrastructure package could provide the funding for the new train line. Rhodes-Conway, along with Milwaukee’s former mayor Tom Barrett have been working for years to expand Amtrak service in the state.
In addition to the Milwaukee-to-Madison line, there are plans for a Milwaukee-to-Green Bay line, and a train line that will run from Milwaukee all the way to Minneapolis, and connect several cities in western Wisconsin along the way.
