Amtrak's Chicago-Miami Floridian
🤨 You can actually buy a seat on this train and keep it all the way from Chicago to Miami if you want to. But since it routes through Washington, D.C. and has a travel time of 48 hours I don't think I would.

Fixed Seats Come to the Northeast Corridor
I'm fascinated by this. Apparently now, Amtrak crews spend three hours each trip reversing all the seats in the cars so they all will face forward for the trip. The change means that half the seats will face forward and half backward. This is a big "so what?" for me, but I guess there are people who get trainsick from sitting backwards. But man, three hours?

Plans underway to bring Amtrak back to Louisville and Southern Indiana
"Mayor Craig Greenberg announced Friday the grant will be the first step in bringing a passenger rail service back to the region. The grant will fund research into the viability of creating the 115-mile corridor between Louisville and Indianapolis.
The potential track would include new stops in the Indianapolis International Airport, Jeffersonville and Columbus."
