Passenger Trains > Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WIDate: 09/14/25 18:46 Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WI Author: MNR225 Today was a beautiful Indian-summer day in central Wisconsin with bright sun and low 80's for high temperatures. The WB Borealis arrived Portage on-time with two (2) P42's and three (3) Superliners. One passenger on; no one off.
The 154 in the new Phase VII scheme looked especially clean (recent re-paint?). ADB    Date: 09/14/25 20:42 Re: Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WI Author: NPRocky That seems very concerning that there was only one passenger on and no one off on a Sunday.

It's a tad light, but Portage is a pretty small town. I would think Sunday would be it's slowest day, anyway.

Very concerning because everyone knows Portage Wisconsin is a bustling metropolis. This is irrefutable proof that nobody rides Amtrak because of demand destruction!

Columbus is by far the busier stop for Madison folks too. Date: 09/15/25 06:38 Re: Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WI Author: CP8888 Unfortunately there is no connection between Madison and Columbus. Maybe an expensive lift/uber.

Date: 09/15/25 07:18 Re: Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WI Author: ThunderMountain Curious to know how Business Class works in this set-up? Assuming one of the 3 Superliners is a 35000 snack coach, but where does the business class passenger sit...all seats would be the same, no distinction or separate seating area I am guessing.
It is painful to see two big units assigned to a 3 car train. Date: 09/15/25 08:30 Re: Today's WB Borealis (1333) at Portage, WI Author: CP8888 No business class offered. All seats the same. No horizon cars which did offer business class.
