Amtrak has added special stops in Michigan City, Ind., on three Wolverine Service trains during selected Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, through November 8. This is in response to the construction-related shut down of South Shore Line commuter rail service east of Gary, Ind., on those dates.

This amounts to a temporary doubling of the number of Amtrak frequencies stopping in Michigan City, from three trains to six, and will preserve a rail travel option for Michigan City-area passengers on those weekends.

Amtrak will add capacity to the Wolverine Service trains for these dates, as these trains are already very popular. More than 300,000 passengers have taken Wolverine Service trains since last October, an increase of more than three percent versus the same period the previous year.
