Passenger Trains > Amtk 302 and 303 detoured via Metra Rock Island today

Detoured between Joliet and 16th St. 
I did not see them but I got a call from someone who did.
Anyone know the reason for the detour?

I don't, but I think that's going to be the future routing, isn't it?
 

Too hot to travel, but it would have been cool to see a train take the SW quadrant connection to and from the air line.

SERVICE ADVISORY: Lincoln Service Trains 300, 301, 302 & 303 will detour between Joliet (JOL) and Chicago (CHI) missing the Summit (SMT) station on 7/20 & 7/27. This detour is expected to add a delay of about 30 to each train.

Lincoln Service Train 301 is operating about 40min late due to earlier routing delays and track work north of Bloomington-Normal (BNL).

Lincoln Service Train 303 is operating about 55min late due to earlier routing delays and signal issues north of Pontiac (PON).
 

Replacing diamonds at Corwith both dates.

Thanks for the info.

I just booked a trip for 7/27. I’ve missed this opportunity in the past.
