The chances are growing for Amtrak service in Eau Claire.
Wisconsin Democratic U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin yesterday said the federal government has agreed to make five train routes in the state a ‘priority.’ The routes include a Milwaukee to Minneapolis route that would bring trains to both Madison and Eau Claire. There’s also a Twin Cities to Eau Claire route, and a Chicago to La Crosse to St. Paul route. Baldwin says the federal government is also interested in the Chicago to Milwaukee route, and a train that would connect Milwaukee and Green Bay.
