Amtrak recently carried its 250,000th guest on state-sponsored Borealis trains between the Twin Cities and Chicago over the Independence Day 2025 holiday weekend.

Operated daily by Amtrak under contracts with the transportation departments of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois, guests and officials have been celebrating a comfortable and reliable service that has routinely exceeded expectations since the daily service began on May 23, 2024.

Borealis trains depart from St. Paul at midday and Chicago in the late morning. The trains offer café service featuring regional items and views of the Mississippi River between St. Paul and La Crosse, Wisconsin.
