South Bend-Chicago travel is even faster as South Shore Line finishes project

The double track project will increase train frequency and cut down on travel times.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Two tracks are better than one.

That’s the idea behind the South Shore Rail Line’s Double Track Project.

The difference the project will make is reflected in a new train schedule that will take effect on May 14.

The new schedule adds 14 additional trains to the mix systemwide. It adds one additional weekday round trip between South Bend and Chicago. Instead of five a day, there will be six.

As for travel time, on average, a South Shore trip between South Bend and Chicago now takes more than two and a half hours. The Double Track Project will cut that to two hours, or to one hour and 49 minutes, using the express train with limited stops.

“We’re really excited about that, hitting that milestone with our South Bend service,” said South Shore Line President Michael Noland.

Natalie is a student at Goshen College who uses the train frequently to travel home or to visit friends. When told of the pending ride reduction times, she said, “That’s going to be perfect, it’s going to be really good, yeah.”

However, Chesterton resident and South Shore rider Tom Cornwell says the new schedule has the same old problem as the old one. “I take the train here to the airport frequently, and the problem I keep running into is that the first train coming east doesn’t get here until now, doesn’t get here until afternoon, and you can’t catch planes when you don’t get here until afternoon.”

Michael Noland believes moving the South Shore station at the South Bend airport from the east side to the west side could help lure more air travelers to the facility.

“We want to run shuttle train service between the 11th Street Station in Michigan City and the west side of the airport, on a nearly hourly basis,” he told 16 News Now. “But it’ll give everybody in northwest Indiana the opportunity to get on a train and take it to the airport in near hourly service and use the convenience of that airport, which is so easy to fly out of.”

Noland also says the station relocation would cut up to 15 more minutes off the South Bend to Chicago trip.

Noland is also looking into adding a stop in New Carlisle that might help workers get to a planned General Motors/Samsung electric vehicle battery plant there.

Train company sets new precedent after train travels for over 1,700 miles on alternative fuel: 'This is a monumental achievement'

S wiss train company Stadler Rail has just set another Guinness World Record with its hydrogen-fueled train, the Flirt H2, New Atlas reports .

On March 20, the Flirt H2 began its record-breaking journey. The train is designed to travel for 286 miles per tank of hydrogen at a top speed of 79 miles per hour.

But at the ENSCO test circuit in Pueblo, Colorado, this train surpassed all expectations by continuing to run for 46 hours straight, with engineers working in shifts to keep it in operation.

At the end of the run, the Flirt H2 had racked up 1,741.7 miles — over six times the distance it was rated for, New Atlas reveals .

"This world record establishes the ideal performance range of our hydrogen version of the best-selling Flirt Electric Multiple Unit, the Flirt H2," Stadler's Ansgar Brockmeyer told New Atlas. "This is a monumental achievement from our entire team and we are very proud to hold another record title."

Stadler's previous train, the battery-powered Flirt Akku, set a Guinness World Record in 2021 for the longest battery-only train journey on a single charge, New Atlas says .

As clean, safe trains like these are adopted more widely, they could provide affordable and convenient travel for millions of people.

Meanwhile, transportation is one of the major driving factors behind air pollution, with passenger cars alone pumping over 3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year, according to Statista . All of that air pollution traps heat in the atmosphere, warming up the planet and causing extreme, destructive weather .

Trains and buses, which move more people with less fuel, are one way to cut back on pollution. Cleaner technologies, like electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles instead of gas-powered ones, are another way. Stadler's trains are both.

The Flirt H2 was originally created for California's San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, New Atlas reports . Italian rail companies have also ordered 15 of them.
