The railroad corridor right-of-way in Madison is currently owned Canadian Pacific Railway (CP Railway) and Union Pacific Railroad (UP). It is operated under lease by Wisconsin & Southern Railroad. Amtrak has the authority to operate passenger service on freight-owned rail throughout the country. The ownership of the rail corridor need not change for Amtrak to operate high-speed passenger rail service.
