Much of this was in the following locations: City Amount Cleveland $ 6,198,382 Columbus $ 1,137,333 Dayton $ 3,845,778 Miamisburg $ 1,634,462 Northfield $ 4,126,656 Sunbury $ 1,421,131 On October 28, 2010, Amtrak announced an order of 70 new electric locomotives from Siemens AG. The six-year, $466 million contract will create 250 jobs, primarily at a facility in Sacramento, but also at plants in Norwood, Ohio, and Alpharetta, Georgia. Amtrak took delivery of the first new locomotives in 2013. Amtrak Government Affairs: November 2014 Employment At the end of FY14, Amtrak employed 48 Ohio residents. Total wages of Amtrak employees living in Ohio were $4,112,914 during FY14. Station Improvements Cincinnati: Amtrak issued a letter of support and will provide expertise and staff resources to the City of Cincinnati’s efforts to add a station track at the historic Union Terminal. The new track also would have a new platform to provide full-length, level boarding for Amtrak’s Cardinal service. Elyria: Amtrak is working with Lorain County to develop plans for infrastructure improvements that would allow Amtrak to serve the recently restored, historic New York Central passenger station downtown. The old station, now the Lorain County Transportation and Community Center, serves local transit and intercity buses. 2 O L A C onneaut F North Kingsville F AMTRAK ROUTES IN U Lake SGhenoevra-eon -Lthei-Lmakeited B Ashtabula OHIO G eneva O Madison T Fairport Harbor Jefferson S ylvania E agleville Lyons Metamora Mentor-on-the-Lake Harbor View P ainesville As htabula P ioneer Alvordton P ut-in-Bay Toledo Oregon E astlake L ake Fayette Oakshade Holland Mentor R ock C reek Williston Kelleys Island Williams Fulton E uclid Wickliffe C hardon R oaming S hores Montpelier Wauseon L ucas R ossford Ottawa Andover E don West Unity Maumee Millbury P ort Delta Marblehead S imons Blakeslee P errysburg R ocky R idge C leveland C leveland Heights Orwell S tryker G enoa C linton Avon Lake Archbold Liberty Beachwood G eauga Waterville Oak Harbor S andus ky G ustavus E dgerton C enter Lorain Lakewood Middlefield Haskins Bay View Brooklyn G erald aband.

  • Cardinal ROUTE GUIDE
    CARDINAL ROUTE GUIDE CHICAgo • INDIANAPOLIS • CINCINNATI • WASHINgtoN, DC • NEW YORK We hope you enjoy reading this guide and learning about points of interest along our route. It is written starting from the northeastern terminus of the train in New York and proceeds to points southwest and west, ending in Chicago. If you boarded in Chicago, just read the guide in reverse, remembering to look in the opposite direction if referenced. AMTRAK STATIONS are shown in all capital letters, as opposed to upper and lower case for towns and geographical areas through which the train travels but does not stop. The Amtrak System Timetable or the Cardinal panel card should be consulted for actual station times. While all service presented in this guide was accurate at the time of publication, routes and services are subject to change. 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.

  • 3C+D Corridor
    3C+D Corridor Amtrak’s vision to connect communities across Ohio Amtrak's Vision Frequency Initial Trip Time Host Railroads Annual Economic Impact 3 daily round trips 5:30 CSX, NS $129.6 million AmtrakConnectsUS.com 1 3C+D Corridor Corridor Growth Despite being less than 250 miles apart, the last time Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati were connected directly by rail was in 1967. The three cities, commonly referred to as the “Three C’s," are the largest in the state of Ohio. Columbus’ metropolitan area is home to over two million residents, making it the second-largest metropolitan area in the country without Amtrak service. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 2000, Columbus has added over 200,000 jobs to its economy, and Cincinnati has added over 100,000 jobs in the same time period. Amtrak’s vision would turn both Cincinnati and Cleveland into new hubs for Amtrak service. In addition to the existing Long Distance trains that operate through Ohio – the Capitol Limited, Cardinal, and Lake Shore Limited – the following improved services are included in Amtrak’s vision: • Cincinnati - Chicago: +4 daily roundtrips • Cleveland - Detroit: +3 daily roundtrips • Cleveland - New York City: +2 daily roundtrips These new rail connections would improve mobility for underserved communities and provide reliable and efficient transportation to education and employment opportunities along the route. Connections would be available to Cleveland’s RTA Light Rail System, Columbus’ COTA system, and Cincinnati’s Metro system. The proposed route would serve dozens of colleges and universities and connect 18 Fortune 500 companies.

  • Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service in the United States
    Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service in the United States Updated February 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45783 SUMMARY R45783 Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service February 8, 2021 in the United States Ben Goldman The federal government has been involved in preserving and improving passenger rail service Analyst in Transportation since 1970, when the bankruptcies of several major railroads threatened the continuance of Policy passenger trains. Congress responded by creating Amtrak—officially, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation—to preserve a basic level of intercity passenger rail service, while relieving private railroad companies of the obligation to maintain a business that had lost money for decades. In the years since, the federal government has funded Amtrak and, in recent years, has funded passenger-rail efforts of varying size and complexity through grants, loans, and tax subsidies. Most recently, Congress has attempted to manage the effects on passenger rail brought about by the sudden drop in travel demand due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Amtrak’s ridership and revenue growth trends were suddenly upended, and passenger rail service in many markets was either reduced or suspended. Efforts to improve intercity passenger rail can be broadly grouped into two categories: incremental improvement of existing services operated by Amtrak and implementation of new rail service where none currently exists. Efforts have been focused on identifying corridors where passenger rail travel times would be competitive with driving or flying (generally less than 500 miles long) and where population density and intercity travel demand create favorable conditions for rail service.
