“The IDOT/Amtrak/UP team has delivered travel times that will make a real difference to our customers: less than two hours from Chicago to Bloomington-Normal and shorter than three hours to Springfield, with end-to-end St. Louis-Chicago schedules of under five hours,” said Amtrak President Roger Harris. “Between the shorter schedules and having more than half of all the new state-owned Amtrak Midwest ‘Venture’ railcars now in service, we are completing a full makeover of this corridor service.
“We thank Senator Durbin and the rest of the Illinois congressional delegation for their leadership and support.”
