Pets Allowed on More Amtrak Trains in Illinois

Amtrak is making it easier for people to take their dogs and cats around Illinois.

Amtrak and the Illinois Department of Transportation have announced they are adding the Chicago-Champaign-Carbondale route of the Illini and Saluki trains to a pilot project that allows people to bring pets with them.

Small pets have been allowed on the Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg trains between Chicago and Quincy since April.
