ALL South Shore service between City and South Bend has been suspended due to power line problems. NO word on expected fix times. Sounds like other trains are running up to 45 minutes late due to the weather.

ATTENTION RIDERS. This is an official statement from NICTD:

In order to provide continuous and reliable service to our passengers the South Shore plans to bus passengers between South Bend and Michigan City on January 6-7 as temperatures are expected to fall to dangerous levels.

Due to low passenger volumes we WILL NOT bus from Hudson Lake. Hudson Lake passengers are advised to drive to Carroll Ave. Station in Michigan City.

The South Shore is an electric railroad and our overhead power system between South Bend and Michigan City is old and subject to failure during extreme temperatures. An unexpected dewirement in a remote location could hamper efforts to provide alternate transportation for those affected passengers and to
restore continuous service.

We’re planning to provide regular train service between Michigan City and Chicago during this severe weather event. However, passengers may encounter delays caused by weather related speed restrictions.

Please note: The South Shore’s 800-356-2079 train service information line remains out of service, as the RTA Travel Center transitions our number to their new call center vendor. Until further notice we are advising passengers to call 312-836-7000. The RTA Travel Center is experiencing greater call volumes because of the weather and callers may encounter a busy signal.

Passengers may also sign up for our text and e-mail alert service available on our website nictd.com Passengers simply need to register by clicking the cell phone icon to stay informed of service delays and disruptions. We also post significant delays and disruptions on our home page.
