[Lincoln Belongs To The Ages @Mr_Lincoln]

Today in 1832, men from New Salem, IL, having volunteered to serve in the militia during the Black Hawk War, meet and elect Lincoln the captain of their company. He states in his 1860 autobiography that this gave him more satisfaction than any other success.

Here are some behind the scenes of when our paved trailhead was done. This is the path you would take to hike our nature trails. We have one that loops in our Woodland Restoration and another that passes sinkholes and historic markers.

[Your Indiana Hoosier 𝝭 @INtheHoosierSt]

After a leisurely FOUR HOURS WAIT the #EmpireBuilder number 7/27 is FINALLY underway. Amtrak, pal, I get it, but these were BRAND NEW @Siemens units! why on earth weren't they working right?? #amtrak #trains #highspeedrail @Amtrak (ps I love taking the train, but good grief)

[Black Hawk War @BlackHawkTrail]

@AmtrakAlerts Is the 7/27 moving now ? The tracker shows it may be leaving Chicago ??!!

[Keep America Free! @LittledogsBite]

@AmtrakAlerts It's really not okay to not have the mechanics checked out before boarding. Now we're all sitting here with no updates waiting for who knows what..3 hours late

[Black Hawk War @BlackHawkTrail]

@hoosierstate100 @AmtrakAlerts Are you at the Chicago station ? Just idling or does it seem like staff are really doing something ?

[Amtrak Alerts @AmtrakAlerts]

UPDATE: Due to ongoing mechanical issues, Empire Builder Train 7/27 which departed on 7/19 will reverse back to Chicago (CHI) for additional servicing. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Happy Juneteenth! Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

How can we support them? Go to their local businesses. Or check out their restaurants. Get out and share the awareness!
