CHICAGO (AP) — Amtrak is ramping up service and offering tips to passengers ahead of one of the busiest travel days of the year.

Officials in Chicago said Tuesday they’re expecting a surge of passengers for Thanksgiving, particularly on Wednesday and Sunday.

They say Amtrak set a record last year, carrying 772,211 travelers during the Thanksgiving holiday. Even higher numbers are expected this year.
