In order to accommodate INDOT bridge construction near South Shore Line tracks in Portage, the SSL will provide temporary busing substitution for late evening/overnight train passengers beginning Monday, Nov. 3, through overnight Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025.
The temporary bus bridge will be in place for eastbound passengers between 9 p.m. – 3 a.m., between Miller, Portage/Ogden Dunes, and Dune Park. No bikes will be permitted on buses.
The temporary busing includes the following trains:
· Weekday EB Tr 33, Tr 133, Tr 35 & Tr 101 bused between Miller, Portage/Ogden Dunes, and Dune Park 11/3-11/6.
· All other train service operates as regularly scheduled between Miller & Dune Park.
Buses will arrive and depart with passengers to match the SSL published train schedule between Miller and Dune Park.
Passengers on Tr 33, Tr 133, Tr 35 & Tr 101 will detrain at Miller to board buses for Dune Park, and board SSL trains again at Dune Park to continue their eastbound trips. Portage/Ogden Dunes passengers will be transported via bus from Miller to Portage/Ogden Dunes.
Delays are possible due to busing, and we thank passengers for their patience.
