The New Buffalo Amtrak station is a train station in New Buffalo, Michigan, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. The Pere Marquette (Chicago—Grand Rapids) stops here twice daily.
There are plans to move the Amtrak station in New Buffalo from its present location to a new facility closer to Lake Michigan along a different set of railroad tracks. When this change takes place, the Pere Marquette will no longer stop at New Buffalo, but the Wolverine (Chicago—Kalamazoo—Detroit/Pontiac) and Blue Water (Chicago—Kalamazoo—Port Huron) will. Currently, a trip west from New Buffalo to Chicago takes 75 minutes; the new service is expected to take 60.[1]
