Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin
Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin May 1971: As part of its inaugural system, Amtrak operates five daily round trips in the Chicago- Milwaukee corridor over the Milwaukee Road main line. Four of these round trips are trains running exclusively between Chicago’s Union Station and Milwaukee’s Station, with an intermediate stop in Glenview, IL. The fifth round trip is the Chicago-Milwaukee segment of Amtrak’s long-distance train to the West Coast via St. Paul, northern North Dakota (e.g. Minot), northern Montana (e.g. Glacier National Park) and Spokane.

Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Discusses the Various Design/Build Alternatives, As Well As the No-Build Alternative
SUMMARY AND COMMITMENTS S.1 INTRODUCTION The potential for high speed rail to address a portion of the transportation needs of the State of Florida has a long history. The current effort to evaluate high speed rail’s potential was initiated following an enactment by Florida’s voters. In November 2000, Florida’s voters adopted an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida that mandated the construction of a high speed transportation system in the state. The amendment required the use of train technologies that operate at speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour (mph) and consist of dedicated rails or guideways separated from motor vehicle traffic. The system was to link the five largest urban areas of Florida and construction was mandated to begin by November 1, 2003, to address a high speed ground transportation system. The purpose of Article 10, Section 19 of the Constitution of the State of Florida was, “to reduce traffic congestion and provide alternatives to the traveling public.” In June 2001, the Florida State Legislature, through the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act, created the Florida High Speed Rail Authority (FHSRA) and charged the organization with the responsibility for planning, administering, and implementing a high speed rail system in Florida. The act also mandated that the initial segment of the system be developed and operated between St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Orlando areas with future service to the Miami area. Following its creation in 2001, the FHSRA proceeded to implement the responsibilities set forth in the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act. -

Lancaster Dispatcher Page 2 December 2017 Holiday Travel THE MUTUAL MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY, 1941 With holiday travel at the highest peak in many years, officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad estimated that during the period from December 13 to December 24, inclusive, the movement over all divisions of the system totalled approximately 2,500,000 passengers, an increase of nearly 20% above 1939. Of this number 2,000,000 rode in coaches and 500,000 in Pullman sleeping and parlor cars. The period covered embraced practically all of the Christmas trek “back home” for family reunions and the heavy travel to Florida, as well as soldiers visiting their people on furloughs from the various encampments throughout the country. In handling this Christmas traffic, 1,314 extra sections and special trains were operated, in addition to many extra cars on regularly scheduled trains. The heaviest day was December 20, when 202 extra sections were required. There were 1,621 extra runs of Pullman cars, including 1,230 sleeping and 391 parlor car movements. To accommodate the tremendous demand for reservations to Florida, 12 extra coach trains, handling more than 4,000 passengers, were operated on PRR WARTIME HOLIDAY POSTER - 1942 four days from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, via the Washington COLLECTION OF THE EDITOR gateway, to leading Florida points. These were in addition to the regular daily luxury coach trains - the Silver Meteor, the Champion and the Vacationer - as well as extremely heavy Pullman travel. -
