Columbus station is an Amtrak train station in Columbus, Wisconsin. It is served by the daily round trips of the and .
Built in 1906 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road), the station is well preserved, and looks much as did when first built. The station area also includes an older freight station.[1] In 2016, a safety fence was constructed between the two mainline tracks running by the station.
The station was staffed on weekdays until May 2017, at which time it became unstaffed. Some Amish passengers, who bought their tickets at the ticket window, began using the two staffed stations in the state (Milwaukee and La Crosse) instead.[2] [3]
service began on May 21, 2024.[4] Construction to upgrade the station's platform area, parking, and other components to meet Americans with Disability Act requirements was underway as of early 2024, scheduled to be done in Amtrak's fiscal year 2025 (after October 1, 2024).[5]
