South Shore Line trains that service northwest Indiana are suspended Wednesday and Thursday because of the polar vortex that has hit the Midwest with brutally cold temperatures.
Service was suspended because a test train encountered significant wire problems overnight, the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District said in a statement early Wednesday. No trains will operate on Wednesday or Thursday because of the extreme cold.
Trains were expected to resume Friday morning, NICTD said. Substitute busing will be in effect between the South Bend and Carroll Avenue stations for at least part of the day Friday.
Most Amtrak trains are canceled and Metra will modify the schedule of most of its lines Wednesday and Thursday due to the expected extreme cold weather.
