The South Shore Line says it will resume full service on Friday.
For the past three weeks, the railroad has mostly been limited to a weekend schedule, with Lakeshore Corridor trains replaced by buses for a portion of the route. That’s after a freight train derailed on a bridge between the East Chicago and Hammond Gateway stations, damaging the structures that hold the overhead wires. Replacements had to be custom-made.
Now, the railroad says trains will once again run their full routes on their normal schedules, starting Friday at 3:01 a.m. CDT.
