Amtrak ridership on three Illinois routes including Carbondale is up by about 45 percent from October 2006 to last July, aided by the Saluki Express and Illini Express joining the Chicago line. City officials say roughly 85,000 passengers pass through Carbondale yearly, with increases noted across all Illinois zones.
