I think that Amtrak is definitely looking at the Cardinal (Trains 50 & 51) the wrong way in terms of scheduling. Amtrak still sees it as a (NYP)WAS-CHI train, instead of as a WAS-CIN-IND-CHI one. The main problem with that is that there are other trains to CHI with more sleeper service, lower prices, and better food. I really believe that the trains should leave later and attempt to better serve the other major cities it crosses (Indianapolis, Cincinnati). Right now, 51(WB) arrives at CIN at 1:03 AM, and at IND at 4:44 AM. Train 50(EB) arrives at IND at 11:35 PM, and at CIN at 3:02 AM.
Anyone else have other examples of this type of scheduling which doesn't support the paying customers?
