Illinois Governor and Amtrak announce schedule of new Chicago-St. Louis trains

The state-supported service on the Chicago-St. Louis route will be known as “Lincoln Service” and will consist of a total of five daily round-trips. Three of those are state-sponsored trains and the two others are part of the national Amtrak network (those are the Texas Eagle and the Ann Rutledge).

This latest announcement completes the service increases on three Illinois routes for the October 30 timetable change.
