Amtrak Introduces Temporary 'Floridian' Route from Chicago to Miami

The new service, starting November 10, combines existing lines to offer a direct journey amid Northeast corridor construction.

The Floridian route merges Amtrak's Capitol Limited and Silver Star lines to create a direct Chicago to Miami service.
The route aims to alleviate traffic during the East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project in New York, expected to last until 2027.
Passengers can expect a 46-47 hour journey with stops in major cities including Cleveland, Washington, D.C., Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa.
Ticket prices start at $109 for coach seats and go up to $1,500 for private rooms, which include additional amenities.
The service revives a historic route from the 1970s and is celebrated by transportation advocates for reconnecting the Midwest and Florida.
