In a rather unusual route announcement, Amtrak is launching a temporary route. The Floridian service will offer a long distance sleeper service between Chicago and Miami with intermediate stops in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Jacksonville and Tampa. The temporary service combines the routes of the Capitol Limited and Silver Star trains. The inaugural trip will commence November 10, 2024.
