CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A heads up to anyone who takes Amtrak's Hiawatha line -- some services will be on roads instead of rail.
During inspections, Amtrak found corrosion on some Horizon railcars used on the Hiawatha route. Those cars are being removed.
Amtrak chartered buses to make up for the missing cars and will bus passengers for about half of the route's trips.
