South Bend has always had the lowest frequency of service, and it's understandable why. In fact, it got harder to serve South Bend when new FRA regs made it harder to add/drop cars.
Has the railroad ever studied a one-car, one-man South Bend shuttle for off-peak? Because the stations and rolling stock are already in place, you're basically adding one man's salary to the expenses - not a big number in the grand scheme of things. After an EB train arrives at Shops, the shuttle departs and runs to SB, and returns WB to meet the next WB mainline train.
