Increased Service on Illinois Amtrak routes starting October 30th

Effective October 30th, additional trains will be running on the following state-supported routes in Illinois:
- Chicago-Carbondale
- Chicago-Quincy

Earlier this week, the schedule for the additional train on the Chicago-Carbondale route was announced - the train will be named “Saluki” and will provide morning departures from both endpoints. Reservations for the new train can be made starting immediately on Amtrak.com and through Amtrak’s call centers.

The schedules for the additional trains on the other routes will be announced “soon”.
