Portage is a train station in Portage, Wisconsin, United States, served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. The depot is a small square brick structure constructed during the Amtrak era, that is located near a Canadian Pacific Railway office (which occupies what was formerly the Portage passenger depot.) There are no station staff in Portage. Beginning in October 2011 Lamers Bus Lines began offering a daily stop at the station, with service between Madison and Wausau.[2]

Portage is served by Amtrak's daily Empire Builder. Of the eight Wisconsin stations served by Amtrak, Portage was the eighth busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of 21 passengers daily.[3]
