MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Amtrak Midwest announced Borealis trains topped 18,500 passengers in the first month of service.

"Amtrak and our state partners have always believed the Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago corridor was a great one with a tremendous opportunity," said Ray Lang, vice president, Amtrak Supported Services.

Borealis trains originate from St. Paul midday and from Chicago in the late morning, with Amtrak everyday discounts for children 2-12, seniors, veterans, military personnel, and families.

"The initial data is promising and reflects the hard work done by WisDOT, our states and Amtrak to bring this service to the people of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois," said Craig Thompson secretary, Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
