The implementation of new high-speed rail technologies, which will allow Amtrak trains to reach speeds of up to 110 miles per hour, has enabled the Illinois Department of Transportation to put new schedules in place on the company’s Lincoln Service and Texas Eagle lines. The new schedules will take effect on June 26, saving passengers time during their trips from Chicago to St. Louis.
