@MidwesternPRA Let’s go! All aboard Amtrak!

This article mentions a "2030 start date" Amtrak says 2029, so it would start anywhere between 3 to 4 years. archive.is/20260306114908…

Amtrak is now calling this project "Hiawatha West" will only require temporary stations in Pewaukee, Watertown & Madison. No additional track work (other than a layover track in Madi) If thats the case, were looking at getting two daily round trips to Madison for pretty cheap!

Big news for Bethesda! Last Wednesday, Bethesda saw record ridership! It was the overall best ridership day at the station since 2020. Thank you to our customers for making this happen!

There’s something special about watching the Canyon, the wildlife, and the winding Verde River come to life in the photos and videos that our passengers share. A big thank you to “thetraintrippers” (IG) for capturing and sharing these beautiful moments from their ride with us!

@TrashPanda08x Oh no, not this again. Privatizing Amtrak would be a disaster, as routes that are not profitable would most likely be cut. Keep Amtrak federally funded.

Government is planning on privatizing Amtrak: Amtrak will be controlled by a holdings company & would be split three ways: -Rolling stock management entity -An infrastructure management entity -A operations entity This sounds like a setup for failure
