'''Wisconsin Dells station''' is an [[Amtrak]] intercity [[train station]] in [[Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin]]. It is served by the daily round trips of the {{lnl|Amtrak|Borealis}} and {{lnl|Amtrak|Empire Builder}}. Despite the antiquated appearance, the station was built in 1989. The station is a replica of a former [[Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad]] (Milwaukee Road) depot,<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Camp |first1=M. J. |last2=Holdsworth |first2=Bill |last3=Guenzler |first3=Elizabeth |date=2024-04-20 |title=Columbia County, Wisconsin |url=http://www.rrshs.org/Wisconsin/columbia.htm |website=Railroad Station Historical Society}}</ref> and is in close proximity to a tourist railroad called the [[Riverside and Great Northern Railway]]. The previous station on this site was damaged by a [[Soo Line Railroad]] freight train [[derailing]] in 1982 (although the depot belonged to the Milwaukee Road then; the Soo Line did not merge with the Milwaukee until 1986.) A nonprofit group was created in the town in order to raise funds for the current station building.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Steinke |first=Andy |date=June 13, 2009 |title=Depot marks 20th year |url=https://www.wiscnews.com/wisconsindellsevents/news/local/depot-marks-th-year/article_249c50c8-b59b-59dd-a698-865dd3063ac5.html |access-date=March 27, 2020 |work=Wisconsin Dells Events}}</ref> {{lnl|Amtrak|Borealis}} service began on May 21, 2024.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Introducing Amtrak Borealis trains with Expanded Service between St. Paul and Chicago via Milwaukee |date=April 30, 2024 |publisher=Amtrak |url=https://media.amtrak.com/2024/04/introducing-amtrak-borealis-trains-with-expanded-service-between-st-paul-and-chicago-via-milwaukee/ |last1=Magliari |first1=Marc}}</ref>
Although there is a caretaker who opens and closes the station around train times, there are no Amtrak employees to sell tickets or handle baggage at this station.
In 2021, Amtrak proposed additional rail connections to [[Madison, WI|Madison]] and [[Eau Claire, WI|Eau Claire]] by 2035.<ref>{{Cite report |url=https://media.amtrak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Amtrak-2021-Corridor-Vision-May27_2021.pdf |title=Amtrak's Vision For Improving Transportation Across America |date=May 2021 |publisher=Amtrak |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210528201335/http://media.amtrak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Amtrak-2021-Corridor-Vision-May27_2021.pdf |archive-date=2021-05-28}}</ref>
