Amtrak’s Pere Marquette train 371 heads south out of Chicago Union Station past BNSF EMD GP39-3 No. 2655 switching the BNSF/Metra 14th Street coach yard along Canal Street as it deadheads to the Amtrak coach yard, most likely after being turned on the wye adjoining the Amtrak locomotive facility, on a snowy November 11, 2019.
Amtrak has three routes that connect Michigan with Chicago, but none to the East or South. The routes are: Wolverine - Pontiac - Chicago; Blue Water - Port Huron - Chicago, and Pere Marquette - Grand Rapids - Chicago.
