MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — South Shore Line commuter trains began operation on the first portion of the Double Track project between Gary and Michigan City on Wednesday, with trains running between Michigan City and the Dune Park station in Chesterton for the first time in more than a year.
The resumption of rail service between those stations also marked the reopening of the 11th Street station in downtown Michigan City, closed since May 2021 to allow for the double-track construction. The original 11th station building, dating to 1927, was torn down last year. It had been closed since 1987.
Passengers will continue to be bused between Dune Park and the Gary Metro station until the rest of the Double Track project is completed next year. Updated schedules are available here.
