Our train was a little late but the train station attendant was wonderful! Nancy was not only knowledgeable but very fun and witty! Kudos to her!

The ticket clerk was wonderful, but I feel for her. She must be constantly apologising to people about very late trains. She said the trains are upto an hour late 50% of the time, usually due to freight train traffic… apparently they have the right away. Well today we waited for 2.5 hours for a passenger train to come, it wasn’t the one we were booked on it was still at least an hour away. But the lovely ticket clerk changed our booking and got us on the earlier train. Disgraceful service. And to think we could have caught the local train to Chicago for much less and been on time. Too bad if you want to eat apparently, nothing at station or on trains, barely caught our connection to Milwaukee and still no food in 7 hours.

Not criticizing the train stations just the system. We are 38 miles into our trip back from Chicago and we are now stopped for 1 ½ hours. It’s dark, rainy and no word yet on what is happening. First and last trip with Amtrak. Update after 2 hrs they told us we are being transferred to buses. Great we have to wait for those and 4 more hours with bus bathrooms, if any. 5 ½ hours and we are still on a dead train. Most of the passengers we’re put on buses, except a small group, I can’t believe the are so inept. We only 38 miles away from Chicago! We just found out we can’t sit together on the buses, there to full.

You may remember that in my review of the Carroll Avenue South Shore Line station (
), I said it made me feel like it was 1936. Well, South Bend’s Amtrak station has a similar physical setup, but instead of 1936, it feels like it’s 1963.
Why? Well, in the ‘30s, rail travel was still ascendant. Through the late ‘50s, it was still the way to go. But by the ‘60s, when air travel became more common (but was still a luxury), riding the rails wasn’t as exciting as it used to be. You were still happy to pick up your sweetheart from the station, but the quirky traditions of the waiting room became the cold efficiencies of a well worn routine.
I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but I do know that picking up my parents from this train station when I lived in South Bend was nowhere near as exciting as arriving at the Carroll Avenue station when I no longer lived in South Bend. Sure, I was elated to see them in person for the first time after September 11, 2001; and it was nice of a friend to leave a grand old group dinner we were having at a fun restaurant to accompany me to the station because she knew where it was. But the reunion at the tracks, while tearful on my mom’s part, had more to do with the politics of the day than the wonder of seeing America by train.
In Amtrak’s defense my parents really did enjoy their cross-​country trip. And the train showed up right on time. But a Rust Belt town like South Bend, Indiana, should at least have a beautiful train station – it actually used to, I believe – and this one isn’t beautiful.
