CHESTERTON, IN, August 03, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Shore Line already has proven reliable for those traveling between Chicago and Northwest Indiana. This reliability comes from the line's willingness to make continuous improvements and this summer is no exception.

During construction, August 4 - 18, the South Shore Line will offer a bus route as an alternative to those Chicago-bound trains departing from Michigan City.
