The Amtrak Hoosier State passenger rail service now ends at the end of April, instead of the first of April as previously announced.

Indiana Department of Transportation announced the four-week extension on the four-day-a-week service that runs from Indianapolis to Chicago.

The announcement Friday followed a phone call between officials from the Federal Railroad Administration and INDOT Commissioner Karl Browning. During the conversation, Sarah Feinberg, acting commissioner for the railroad administration, indicated the federal agency would reconsider the position that would force the end of the Hoosier State passenger line.
