CHICAGO, Ill. – Amtrak is cancelling two Illinois routes — one from Chicago and one to Chicago — through the middle of January.
The passenger rail service blames staffing shortages for the cancellations of trains 380 and 381 until January 16th.
Those trains travel between Chicago and Quincy during the morning hours, but do get ridership from the Peoria area, because they make stops in places like Galesburg and Kewanee.
No word on if trains to and from Chicago that pass through Bloomington-Normal will be impacted.
Some state-served Amtrak routes have been battered by staffing shortages in recent months.
