The southbound Chicago to St Louis 303 is being held up south of Bloomington because of a Police standoff with a subject who is wanted for shooting a police officer earlier in the day in Rockford Illinois. The subject  is cornered by the Police  just northeast of Lincoln Il near the Interstate 55 junction with route 66 within a block or two of the Amtrak route to St Louis.
