I would just follow what his w-2 shows as income for the states except that as a resident of Illinois all the income would be taxable but he would then get a full or partial credit for taxes paid to other states.

No. The Amtrack Act exempts Transportation workers from having to pay tax on other state income, in that situation. His W-2 should only have IL in boxes 15-17.
