Amtrak is picking up speed in Michigan.
After several weeks of service disruptions due to track work on the line, the Wolverine service between Pontiac and Chicago is returning to normal and should even get faster, says the Michigan Department of Transportation.
“There are a few sections that still have 40 mile-per-hour slowdowns, but for the most part the line is back up to speed,” said Janet Foran, MDOT spokeswoman, on Thursday.”This investment is going to pay off in the long run for us.” On May 21, Amtrak will issue new timetables for the Wolverine route and the Port Huron-Chicago Blue Water route, Trains should be able to speed up to 110 miles per hour between Kalamazoo and Porter, Ind.
