Amtrak Borealis Trains Hit 100,000 Passengers in 22 Weeks

Officials say the Amtrak Borealis line between St. Paul, Milwaukee, and Chicago has reached 100,000 passengers since it debuted 22 weeks ago. Great River Rail Commissioner Chair Chris Meyer says, “It’s clear that residents of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois recognize the benefits… it’s comfortable, affordable travel to great destinations.” Borealis trains depart from St. Paul at midday and Chicago in the late morning with Amtrak discounts for children ages 2–12, students, seniors, veterans, military personnel, families, groups, and others.
