Wisconsin leaders are restarting efforts to bring Amtrak service to the capital city.
Governor Tony Evers and the Department of Transportation explained yesterday a grant application was submitted to expand the Amtrak line to include service to Dane County and others. The proposal would see the twice-daily Hiawatha line from Chicago to Milwaukee go to Madison, Watertown, and Pewaukee. The Evers administration believes a successful move forward would create dozens of permanent jobs and have a positive impact on the Badger State economy.
