Southwest Chief
Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides service from Chicago on four trains daily. It operates the "California Zephyr", "Carl Sandburg", "Illinois Zephyr", and "Southwest Chief" daily from Chicago Union Station to Galesburg station and points west. The "Southwest Chief" and the state-supported "Carl Sandburg" and "Illinois Zephyr" take passengers to Chicago or points west, while the "California Zephyr" discharges passengers only on its eastbound run since the other trains provide ample service.
