South Shore Line extension to open 17 March

Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Thu Jan 29 01:48:11 2026

NICTD/South Shore Line will open the Monon/West Lake Corridor on 17 March as David Dech, currently head of Florida Tri-Rail takes over as Pres/GM. Nice to see an electric interurban/commuter RR growing.

Now if they could reroute the tracks to South Bend Int'l Airport, or extend them to Union Station.

Actually there is a plan for a much better route to the airport. it is unfortunate that both serving the airport and the Union Station isn;t easy. My version of what to do next, is grab as much mire of Monon as possible to return Indianapolis to regular, frequent service.

I'd be inclined to just move the South Bend terminus to Union Station. They'd have to put up a parking garage. On a side note, I remember being down in that area not long after Studebaker closed. All those abandoned buildings looked post-apocalyptic.

I actually think serving the airport is useful
