Heritage Corridor Totally Explained

Everything about Heritage Corridor totally explained

ť You may be looking for National Heritage Corridor.

The Heritage Corridor (HC) is a commuter rail line provided and operated by Metra in Chicago, Illinois, and its surrounding suburbs. While Metra doesn't specifically refer to any of its lines by a particular color, the timetable accents for the Heritage Corridor line are printed in dark "Alton Maroon". The Alton Railroad was the historic operator of trains over this route.
   Its northern terminus is Union Station in downtown Chicago. The line traverses Chicago's western neighborhoods and its southwestern and far southwestern suburbs to Joliet, Illinois.
   The name Heritage Corridor refers to the Illinois and Michigan Canal Heritage Corridor. Established in 1984, it runs parallel to the line. Amtrak's Texas Eagle and Lincoln Service use these tracks from Chicago Union Station to Joliet Union Station. The Texas Eagle only stops at Joliet Union Station and its northern terminus Chicago Union Station. The Lincoln Service stops at Joliet Union Station, Summit (Amtrak station), and its northern terminus Chicago Union Station. As of 2006, there were three trains inbound to Chicago during the morning rush hour and three trains outbound to Joliet during the afternoon rush hour.
   Recently in 2008 plans of a possible station addition on the Metra Heritage Corridor to be located in Romeoville that would include parking facilities was announced. The station would be located on the property belonging to the the Citgo refinery between Lemont and Lockport. Metra would also increase the number of trains in service. Also in the plan would be a Park and Ride Pace (transit) Bus Service from a terminus point on Weber Rd. located on Romeoville's western boundry which would then go east on 135th St/Romeo Rd. to the new station.
