Commuter Rail
Madison has a rich network of existing railroad rights-of-way, with typically infrequent freight train service at this time.  Some routes are owned by private railroads and several are owned by the State of Wisconsin - for the benefit of freight or passenger rail services. Four existing rail routes are connected into the system of West, North, Northeast, and Southeast rail lines.  They all are interconnected in downtown Madison, which would allow numerous opportunities for trains and passengers from one line to interconnect with each of the other lines.
