Portage station is an Amtrak intercity train station in Portage, Wisconsin, served by Amtrak's daily Empire Builder service. Portage is the closest Amtrak station to Madison from points west (Columbus station is the closest overall).
The depot is a small square brick structure constructed during the Amtrak era that is located near a Canadian Pacific Kansas City yard office. The office occupies what was formerly the Portage passenger depot, served by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) prior to the creation of Amtrak. There are no station staff in Portage.
In October 2011, Lamers Bus Lines began offering a daily stop at the station, with service between Madison and Wausau, this service was transferred to Van Galder Coach USA in 2022.[2]
Portage is slated to receive expanded service via the Borealis route which will serve Portage station with a second Chicago-St Paul round trip beginning in May 2024. Additional rail service to Madison and Eau Claire has been proposed.
