When I try to buy a ticket for Tuesday the option is available, but Monday and Wednesday are cancelled. Is there partial service? I can’t find anything anywhere saying as much, and i hesitate to make travel plans that could get cancelled last minute, but i’d really rather ride the train than take a plane.

Also wondering if it’s not a bad idea to try and get on the borealis from milwaukee to chicago at 5:30 to catch the 10:05 CONO. Amtrak only packages it with the Hiawathas at 11am and 3pm, but i’d really rather not wait 5 hours to switch trains.

I’m trying to get from Milwaukee to New Orleans. When I try to book the trip online it wants to put me on the 3pm Hiawatha. Why doesn’t it put me on the 7:30 Hiawatha that should arrive in chicago at 9:05 before i get on the City of New Orleans at 10:05? Do they really think 1 hour isn’t enough margin for error? Would I be a fool to just book the two tickets separately and expect to make it new orleans?
