On-time performance primary concern
At a time when Indiana and the communities served by Amtrak’s Hoosier State passenger rail line are pushing for improved service, the line’s on-time performance was 33 percent in January, according to Amtrak.
That lack of reliability was one of the main discussion points Thursday during a meeting between Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman and local government and business leaders, said Arvid Olson, a Greater Lafayette Commerce council member.
“There was a frank conversation regarding on-time performance,” Olson said.
“There were two very tangible ways for it to be improved that were discussed, and Amtrak is moving forward on both of them.”

Amtrak upgrades planned on Hoosier State line
Rail passenger carrier Amtrak announced today it would offer Wi-Fi, food and business class seating on its Indianapolis to Chicago line.
The upgrades on the four-days-a-week Hoosier State will last until Jan. 31, when Amtrak's contract with the Indiana Department of Transportation is set to expire.
Eastbound, the timetable shows 1 hour 13 minutes to go less than 30 miles from Chicago to Dyer. Even more time is allocated westbound, but padding into Chicago is normal on many trains.
