There will be new service -- Waukegan Limited trains, makingall Limited stops, half hourly in each direction; also Highwood Express trains, making all Express stops, half hourly each way. And there will be Local trains every half hour in both directions. More Than Twelve Trains Every Hour The foregoing schedule provides twelve trains every hour--six trains each way.
