Local News Travel by train could become a new option for people in Fond du Lac for a trip to Chicago, Green Bay or beyond. Currently, Amtrak has trains that regularly go between Milwaukee and Chicago, but they are looking at possibly extending some of those trains north, making stops in Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, and Appleton, before making a final stop in Green Bay. Federal money would pay for up to 80 percent of a project. The rest would need to come from somewhere else – like state, local, or private money.
