Amtrak Midwest is a brand name applied by Amtrak to its state-supported routes in the Midwest states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Missouri.[1] As of 2024, Amtrak Midwest consists of ten named trains:

  • Illinois Service: Lincoln Service, Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg, and Illini and Saluki
  • Michigan Services: Blue Water, Wolverine, and Pere Marquette
  • Hiawatha Service
  • Missouri River Runner

The routes generally form a hub-and-spoke network around Chicago Union Station, with all trains terminating there except for one Missouri River Runner round trip.

An eleventh route, the Borealis between Chicago and St. Paul, is expected to start in 2024 and will add Minnesota to the Amtrak Midwest network. Other routes in development include the Quad Cities and Northern Lights Express.
