Amtrak Borealis - America's Newest Passenger Train - Chicago to St. Paul

I quick view of the first days of Amtrak's Borealis passenger rail service between Chicago and St. Paul. We start with the test train on May 7th, 2024. We ended up not shooting the westbound on the first day due to the weather. On day two we shoot 1333 at Redrock on the BNSF St Paul Sub. On day three of service we grab a shot of Vermillion on the CPKC River Sub before heading to St. Paul and getting one more shot a Division Street just east of St. Paul Union Depot. As a bonus we also see two CPKC trains heading east while waiting for Borealis: CPKC 260 and CPKC 576,

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Borealis, referred to as Twin Cities–Milwaukee–Chicago (TCMC) during planning, is an Amtrak inter-city rail service that operates daily between Chicago, Illinois, and Saint Paul, Minnesota, via Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The first service began on May 21, 2024 under the Amtrak Midwest brand.

The train supplements the long-distance Empire Builder, serving the same stations but with higher reliability and complementary departure times. As an extension of an existing Chicago–Milwaukee Hiawatha Service train, the Borealis doubled Amtrak service frequency between Milwaukee and Saint Paul.
