Change of Railroad Time Affects Decorah Amtrak Schedule
A Sunday time change shifts train 208 from Decorah 15 minutes earlier to 8 15 p m and the northbound line to Calmar arrives 10 minutes sooner. Decorah lacks a night operator between Cresco and Calmar, prompting leeway. Rock Island schedule also shifts with several daily trains moving later, while the 11 45 a m departure becomes 12 20 p m and the 11 p m arrival becomes 10 25 p m. The early morning train remains unchanged.
