I just read about Amtrak dropping the Kentucky Cardinal. How would Amtrak even consider operating a train on such slow track? There are places were that train could be put to better use. Who in their right mind would board a train that would take over 11 hours to cover 312 miles. An average speed of 28 mph!!! If Amtrak wanted to operate express over the line why not buy the line and raise speeds? I believe that there is a market for Louisville, to Chicago, but not at that speed. There was talk several years ago of running trains from Cincinnati to Cleveland, Ohio. That train would have made more sense. What do you think?
