Amtrak to use chartered buses as substitute for Carl Sandburg trains through Tuesday
QUINCY — Chartered buses will be used as substitute transportation for Carl Sandburg trains 381 (from Chicago to Quincy in the mornings) and 382 (from Quincy to Chicago in the evenings) through Tuesday, Aug. 9.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said this decision will allow Amtrak’s shop forces more time to provide a larger number of usable railcars to avoid cancellations.
Amtrak announced last Tuesday it was temporarily suspending the Carl Sandburg trains. Original plans called for the service to return on Monday, Aug. 8.
“We have a shortage of railcars because we have a shortage of people to work on the trains,” Magliari said Tuesday.
