Amtrak wants to bring passenger rail service to Madison by 2030, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
The timeline is earlier than planned. The rail service wants to connect Madison to Milwaukee and Chicago and eventually the Twin Cities.
“This is something that I have been working on with Amtrak for some time now,” Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said Thursday. “I’m really excited about the prospect of that happening sooner rather than later.”

Service could start by late 2029, by using a temporary station until a permanent one can be built.
