Illinois Bike-On-Amtrak Guide Illinois Bike-on-Amtrak Guide An informal guide to help you use the train and your bicycle to explore Illinois Have you wanted to give bike touring a try? Have you thought of a route in Illinois but are unsure of how to get you and your bike there? Using our state’s “walk-on” bikes-on-Amtrak program allows bicyclists to do close-to-home day, weekend, or even longer trips. Ride Illinois developed this guide to encourage and assist Amtrak-based bicycle tourists by providing information for participating communities, including links to maps with good rural routes near the town. Consider the following trip types: 1) One Town: Take a day or overnight trip to an Amtrak town, exploring the town and the surrounding areas. 2) One-Way along an Amtrak Line: Extend your bicycle ride area by taking the train to one Amtrak town and biking to another, returning from there. As an example, maybe you’d like to bike the Route 66 Trail from Chicago, returning by train from St. Louis—or an earlier stop, if needed. Or, on a windy day, you’d like to “cheat” with a one-way, all-tailwind ride! 3) Between Amtrak Lines: Especially if Chicago is part of your trip, you could plan a ride between two towns on different Amtrak lines. One longer example—riding a section of Illinois’ Mississippi River Trail! Illinois’ Amtrak towns How this guide is organized: Each participating town has two pages with an Amtrak line map, station address and train schedules, town summary, photos, attractions, lodging and camping, a few suggested rides in the surrounding areas, and other information such as hospitals, wi-fi access, nearest bike shops, and nearby towns having (at least) a convenience store. Logistics of bringing your bike on Amtrak: “Walk-on” bicycle service is available for Illinois Amtrak trains with 300-level train numbers and Carbondale, St. Louis, or Quincy endpoints. (The service is not available on longer-distance Amtrak trains.) On trains with “walk-on” service, you can store your unboxed bike in the train car in which you are sitting—instead of significantly taking apart and boxing your bike for baggage area storage. When you purchase your ticket for Amtrak, you must also purchase a ticket for your bicycle. The cost is $10 each way, no matter how far you travel. Note that there is a maximum of four bikes per train. Passengers are expected to carry their bikes onto the trains with them. With the narrow, steep stairs, this can be tricky—so be careful. Officially, Amtrak’s policy requires bikes to be stored in the overhead luggage areas above the seats (as shown, at right). These luggage areas are not used very much, so you should be able to find space. Storing your bike there minimally requires you to remove the front wheel. Do that first—before lifting the rest of the bike, rotating it 90 degrees in mid-air, and placing it in the rack. Then, place your front wheel on top. There generally are not hooks which you can secure your bike to. Despite this and the tenuous positioning, you should not have any problems with your bike moving around while stored in the luggage area. Amtrak has been replacing its old train cars with newer models having other areas more suitable for storing your bike. These may include a large open space near the back of the train car (you may have to rearrange others’ luggage to lean your bike against the side wall); in vertical luggage “shelves” (front wheel removal needed); or, directly in front of you if you sit in the front seat, for some train cars. Other resources: The information in the town pages is only meant to be an introduction. Before you go, find an online map of the town, verify that the businesses or attractions are open, and look online for the latest Amtrak schedules. Also, bike maps are available with more detail. IDOT’s bicycle maps are great for learning whether a rural road is paved and bike-friendly . Ride Illinois and others have maps for some larger communities. Finally, be a safe bicyclist—try our quizzes at www.bikesafetyquiz.com, with relevant state laws and safety techniques. Ride Illinois, 2016. This guide is not an official Amtrak or IDOT document. Bloomington-Normal Bloomington-Normal is the perfect stop for bicyclists participating in Illinois’ bikes-on-Amtrak program. Just steps from the Amtrak station is the Constitu- tion Trail, a 30-plus-mile long trail network. Some of the area’s finest restau- rants, hotels, entertainment venues and shopping are located next to the trail, as well as dozens of parks with shelters, picnic tables, restrooms and benches. Bicyclists will enjoy the scenic trails of Comlara County Park in nearby Hudson and Moraine View State Park in LeRoy. Both parks also offer camping, picnic areas and picturesque lakes. In addition, historic Route 66 can be traced through Bloomington-Normal, and visitors can stop along the route at the McLean County Museum of History in Bloomington or Sprague’s Super Service Station in Normal to view Route 66 wayside exhibits. The Bloomington-Normal area contains over 40 options for overnight accommodations, including two bed and breakfasts and three campgrounds.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates.

    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. Four of these round trips are trains running exclusively between Chicago’s Union Station and Milwaukee’s Station, with an intermediate stop in Glenview, IL. The fifth round trip is the Chicago-Milwaukee segment of Amtrak’s long-distance train to the West Coast via St. Paul, northern North Dakota (e.g. Minot), northern Montana (e.g. Glacier National Park) and Spokane.

Abraham Lincoln on Bookshelves and the Web This weekend we celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln -- perhaps the most popular subject among scholars, students, and enthusiasts of the presidency. In bookstores Lincoln has no rival. Not even FDR can compare -- in the past two years 15 books have been published about Lincoln to FDR's 10, which is amazing since that span included the 60th anniversaries of D-Day and Roosevelt's historic 4th term, and anticipated the anniversary of his death in office. Lincoln is also quite popular on the web, with sites devoted to the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, his birthplace, home, and papers. And he is popular in the press -- perhaps no deceased former president is more frequently incorporated into our daily news. Below, the Hauenstein Center has gathered recently written and forthcoming books about Lincoln, links to websites, and news and commentary written about Lincoln since the New Year.
