Please contact Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, visit Amtrak.com, or call your travel agent for the most current information. Between the front door of America’s Eastern Seaboard, Amtrak’s famous Northeast Corridor, and the equally well- known delights of the Windy City, Chicago, lies the gateway to the American South and the unparalleled wonders of the journey westward through America’s mid-Atlantic and southeastern heartlands. From twinkling Northeast cityscapes to famous Civil War battlefields; from the Blue Ridge Mountain chain and the Shenandoah Valley to West Virginia’s wild and wonderful whitewater rivers; from the fabulous window on geologic history at the New River Gorge to the Kanawha River’s thunder into a 1,300-ft. canyon below; from quiet coal mining towns to the beautifully illuminated nighttime skyline of Charleston, the capital city, and on to the great plains and Chicago – the Cardinal takes you on an unforgettable journey through history and adventure. [Today’s Cardinal is the lineal descendent of several trains. The James Whitcomb Riley was introduced by the New York Central Railroad in 1941 as an all-coach daytime train serving Chicago and Cincinnati by way of Indianapolis. Penn Central retained the Riley after the merger of the New York Central with the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway operated the George Washington between Cincinnati and Washington, with a section from Charlottesville to Newport News. After Amtrak’s beginnings in 1971, the train went through several permutations, being renamed the Cardinal in 1977 after the state bird of all six states through which it runs.] WeLCOME ABOARD Welcome aboard the Cardinal.
