WisARP SCHEDULES TOWN HALL MEETINGS IN TOMAH & PORTAGE ** FEB8 UPDATE**

Posted on by

February 8, 2019 – WisARP has scheduled two Town Hall Meetings during the second week of February 2019 in Tomah and Portage, Wisconsin.  These meetings will review the current status of the second Empire Builder train (TCMC) and what action YOU can take to help make this train become a reality.  The meetings will be led by Terry Brown, Vice-President of Communications.

Wednesday, February 13 in Tomah at 7p.  The Meeting will be located in the Chamber Room of City Hall, 819 Superior Ave.

FEB8 UPDATE!!  The Tomah meeting will include two guest speakers:  Arun Rao, Passenger Rail Implementation Manager for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and Marc Magliari, Public Relations Manager (Spokesman) and Amtrak Government Affairs & Corporate Communications Manager.

Thursday, February 14 in Portage at 7p.  The Meeting will be located in the Portage Enterprise Center, 1800 Kutzke Road, in conference room 101.  Please enter door one.

FEB8 UPDATE!! WisARP is obviously excited to have these two officials appear at the Town Hall Meeting in Tomah, but disappointed these two are unable to attend the Town Hall Meeting in Portage.  Terry Brown will convey much of the information delivered by Rao and Magliari at the Portage meeting, so those attendees will be fully informed.

 

Attached to this blog below are flyers/ posters for the two meetings.  If you live near Tomah or Portage and can help out notifying the public of these meetings, please download these flyers and post in appropriate places.  Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Tomah Train Station Nov Update

Posted on by

November 24, 2018 – Over two years ago Amtrak began remodeling the Tomah train station.  By Thanksgiving 2016 remodel work had stopped with no word why.  Tomah city officials have been frustrated with the inactivity, eyesores surrounded by a fence and no replies from Amtrak.  September 2018 progress resumed in Tomah.  Will the remodel be complete by the November 30, 2018 promised date?

The < WISARP WISCONSIN > YouTube website has a short video about the condition of the station last month.
