MORE TRAINS FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND!
Amtrak is having additional Chicago and Southwest Michigan departures for Labor Day Weekend! From Amtrak's News Release:
"Why labor through traffic and tolls during Labor Day Weekend when Amtrak is adding service between Chicago and Western Michigan? An early morning westbound train from Kalamazoo gets you to the Lake Michigan beaches or to Chicago in time to get breakfast and 'Enjoy Illinois,' while a late evening eastbound train to Kalamazoo is 'Pure Michigan,' to quote from each state’s tourism agency.
"From September 2-6, five eastbound Amtrak trains will depart Chicago once in the morning, twice in the afternoon and twice in the evening, making stops in New Buffalo, Niles and Kalamazoo. From September 3-7, five westbound Amtrak trains will depart Kalamazoo three times in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening."
Please see this flyer for the schedule and additional information.
