SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The South Shore Line announced trains will be running on a weekend/holiday schedule Friday due to anticipated sub-zero temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills.

Officials say there will be a Cold Weather Advisory in place beginning at 3 a.m., Friday, in Indiana. In Chicago, an Extreme Cold Warning will be in effect at 3 a.m. Friday, with dangerously cold wind chills as low as -30 to -40 degrees.

Besides operating on a weekend/holiday schedule, the following revisions will be in effect:

  • WB Train 102 will operate on its regular weekday schedule Friday, arriving at Millennium Station at 5:32 a.m.
  • Weekend EB Tr 609 will extend its route on Friday, operating through South Bend International Airport.
