  • Amtrak Chicago Area Update
    Amtrak Chicago Area Update Amtrak will operate modified schedules for Chicago Hub Services on Tuesday, Jan. 28, following conversations with freight railroads that host Amtrak trains to and from Chicago and in consultation with state transportation departments that sponsor the services. These cancelations are designed to maintain service on most routes while reducing exposure of Amtrak passengers, crews and rail equipment to extreme weather conditions. Passengers are urged to heed the warnings of local officials to use caution making their way to and from stations and to expect delays in bitter cold, gusty winds and blowing snow. A range of tools - including Amtrak.com, smartphone apps and calls to 800-USA-RAIL - are available to assist in travel planning and to provide train status information. The following Amtrak Chicago Hub Services will not be available on Tuesday, Jan. 28: Lincoln Service Trains 300, 301, 306 & 307 are canceled. (Trains 302, 303, 304 & 305 and Trains 21/321 & 22/322 will maintain service on the Chicago-St. Louis corridor) Hiawatha Service Trains 329, 332, 333, 336, 337 & 340 are canceled.

    Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin May 1971: As part of its inaugural system, Amtrak operates five daily round trips in the Chicago- Milwaukee corridor over the Milwaukee Road main line.
