Milwaukee is served by Amtrak's ''[[Hiawatha (Amtrak train)|Hiawatha]]'' passenger train up to seven times daily between Milwaukee Intermodal Station and [[Chicago Union Station]]. The ''[[Borealis (train)|Borealis]]'' provides daily service to Chicago and [[Saint Paul, Minnesota]], and is supplemental to the long-distance cross-country ''[[Empire Builder]]'', connecting Milwaukee to [[Portland, Oregon]] and [[Seattle, Washington]].
