Special Notes:

  1. 19 Scheduled Days ... 11 days open ... 9700 miles ... buy your tickets a segment at a time one or two stops before the end of a segment.
  2. Stayovers (non-scheduled cities): Savannah, Charleston, Richmond, Orlando, Birmingham, Houston, Mobile, Charlotte, Charlottesville, Lancaster, etc.
  3. Sidetrips: Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, etc.
  4. Caveat: The Sunset Limited between Orlando and New Orleans is still not working after the Hurricane Katrina damage. Freight cars weighing five to ten times more than a passenger car travel the Gulf Coast rails. And, no train station can be worse than Ugly Hole of Beaumont, TX. The Sunset Limited is another example of two problems with politicians: they make a problem worse and they put a fox in the chicken coop (Bad Numero Uno). Until the Sunset Limited is running again, Railers will have to ride up to the Carolinas or Washington, DC, to catch the Crescent to the Big Easy.
