The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for northern Indiana and the Chicago area that is expected to impact travel tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 12, 2024, through Saturday, Jan. 13. The predictions include heavy snow with accumulations of 4”-8” in Indiana (6”+ in Chicago), strong wind gusts, reduced visibility, and rapidly falling temperatures.
Due to this predicted weather, the South Shore Line is closely monitoring conditions as ice and heavy snow can adversely impact track, overhead wire, and other mechanical components. SSL crews are preparing in advance to minimize weather-related impacts to train service.
We anticipate train operations to run as scheduled, however any disruptions or changes in service will be promptly posted to our website service updates, the South Shore mobile app, and via email/text notifications (click here to sign up).
Passengers are advised to arrive early at boarding stations, and to exercise caution in parking lots and train platforms. Due to the weather, train delays may be possible.
NOTE: Temporary busing to stations between Gary and Dune Park remains in effect. Click here for more information. Due to road conditions, buses may experience further delays.
We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this inclement weather situation.
