Second train between Twin Cities and Chicago slated to begin in 2024

Minnesota DOT surveying potential riders about possible amenities

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. — In a social media post Wednesday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced the long-awaited second passenger train between St. Paul and Chicago will begin service in 2024. MnDOT is also asking potential passengers to take a survey about amenities they would like to see aboard the train. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Transportation, and MnDOT are sponsoring the service. Amtrak will operate the trains on CPKC’s route.

 

While infrastructure improvements are planned in the La Crosse, Wis., and Winona, Minn., areas, CPKC has agreed to start the service before the improvements are completed as part of a deal reached when Amtrak endorsed the Canadian Pacific/Kansas City Southern merger.

Racine County Eye,  11/27/23:
 

 

  Racine County to see more Amtrak service in 2024     

 

 

Racine and Kenosha area residents can expect additional Amtrak passenger train service from here starting in 2024.

 

Here is the story.      If they follow what was proposed before to simply extend the equipment of Hiawathas 333 and 340 to St. Paul, then Sturtevant  will see no more trains that it has now.   They will only have more options where they can travel to.
