HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Amtrak Service continues to move forward again after the potential strike by freight railroad workers was averted. 

According to Marc Magliari of Amtrak, the Southwest Chief will begin running its full schedule again on Friday. That means the first westbound train for Hutchinson will be Saturday morning and the first eastbound train will be on Sunday.

If you had your trip canceled or are planning to board the Chief this weekend, make sure to call Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL. There is also an automated agent that can provide updated schedules and status updates. You can also get updates at amtrak.com
