The Clock Has Started. Amtrak/Amtrak Michigan Services Train 352 (Wolverine) passes one the St. Joseph River in Niles, Michigan on the afternoon of Monday, January 25, 2021 with Siemens SC-44 IDTX 4630 leading. This was also the first day that Amtrak operated Siemens Venture coaches on a test train across the State Of Michigan, and so the era of the AmFleet and Horizon cars dominating these runs will be coming to an end in the not too distant future.
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.
