Chicago Weather Alert: Amtrak Canceling Train Routes Amid Winter Storm Warning

CHICAGO (CBS) -- As heavy snow falls across the Chicago area, it's not just the airlines canceling travel plans; you probably won't be getting out by train either.

Amtrak has canceled eight planned train routes from Union Station on Wednesday, and is scrapping plans for 12 train routes on Thursday.

That includes trains for shorter trips, like to Carbondale; or longer ones like New Orleans, New York and Washington, D.C.

Amtrak is waiving change fees for travelers.
