WEEKEND/HOLIDAY TRAIN SCHEDULE:
Passengers are advised that the South Shore Line will continue to operate Lakeshore Corridor and Monon Corridor service on a WEEKEND/HOLIDAY train schedule Monday, June 29, through Friday, July 3, 2026. June 27-28 and July 4-5 will remain weekend/holiday service as scheduled. This temporary operational change is a result of a June 24 freight train derailment and subsequent power loss near East Chicago. Crews continue to work diligently at the scene, which originally resulted in temporary suspension of all South Shore Line train service on June 24. Train service resumed June 25 operating on a weekend/holiday train schedule.
