Amtrak has announced modified service on its Midwest and Northeast lines ahead of a weekend storm expected to bring heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain across the regions.
On Saturday and Sunday some trains from Chicago to the Northeast will be canceled, and there will be modified schedules for the northeast lines Sunday.
Anyone planning to travel by Amtrak should check their train status before leaving, and allow extra time to get to the station.
