Amtrak tweaks Grand Rapids-to-Chicago train schedule, announces ridership gains on the line

Starting next week, Amtrak’s Grand Rapids-to-Chicago line will undergo a scheduling tweak that will see a (slightly) later departure time from Michigan.

Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari confirmed the Pere Marquette train will depart Grand Rapids at 7:40 a.m. starting Monday, Sept. 17, five minutes later than it does now.

The return train from Chicago will depart at 4:55 p.m. starting next week, 25 minutes earlier than the current 5:20 p.m. train.
