I like how the administrators here create threads for different categories for the other routes. I have not seen one for the Midwest corridors out of Chicago, so I thought I would start one.
I discovered the following service alert while looking at a Sunday round trip on the Saluki. This is from Amtrak's website. Hopefully this means that the shunt issues on the crossings will be corrected.
Due to infrastructure work being performed, Amtrak’s Illini and Saluki services will be adjusted. Trains 391 and 392 will be changed as outlined below.
