Amtrak in pana il

[Guest]

Why is Amtrak going through Pana Il on Union Pacific lines?

Detouring maybe. Freight derailment, flooding? Just guesses.

I thought it might be Italian, but I think they mean Pana, Illinois.

Pana is on the "Amish Country" Reroute that the Eagles take between Chicago and St. Louis during trackwork on the regular route for the Lincoln Service Trains ( which become bustitutions) and the Eagles.

Boring, non stop 50 mph straight as an arrow running for miles and hours.

It's the Texas Eagle detouring on UP's former Chicago and Eastern Illinois route between Chicago and St. Louis due to work on the regular Chicago-St. Louis UP ex-Gulf, Mobile and Ohio line. That route is slowly being upgraded to a higher speed line.
