@Amtrak839 its the least used route period lol.

I have system timetables and route maps from 15 years ago. Only about 75 percent of the routes are still in operation. I did rid the Cardinal when it had the Superliner cars, and when it went to the Viewliner cars. I prefer the Superliner, but the Viewliner's were also nice.

I have taken the Cardinal several times over the years from Charolttesville VA to Huntington WV and never have seen Superliner cars. I always enjoy the trip through WV. Beautiful!

Okay. I'd like to ride this route one day. It sounds like a nice ride. I once saw it when white water rafting on the New River.

I just saw a video of the Cardinal from 2001 in Huntington with SIX Superliners and a Baggage Car. Man, those were the days!

At the time it ran only DC to Chicago, not all the way to NY. The Superliners had to be pulled to supplement the Auto Train, after several cars were wrecked in a derailment in 2002. They then pulled the Viewliners and diners from the Silver Palm (so it lost its Silver Service status) to keep the Cardinal running. Later some heritage diners and bags had to be retired (deteriorating) so they pulled them from the Cardinal, the least used single level long distance train.

I'm afraid this train is going to run out of business. It went from Superliners to single level cars and now it's so short.

Public support for Amtrak is too strong. If it was going to be cut, they would have done it already.

Just because of the good comments on this video, I think I want to ride this train. 5/5* :D

Haha, thanks! Do it. On my list of trains to ride, too. Need to ride the Card and the Palmetto, and then I will have ridden every long distance train serving D.C.
