I have ridden this train. I ran out of steam writing about the beauty of Wilmington, Delaware, where lot's of Amtrak's unrepaired equipment can be seen. By the time I got to New Jersey, I just ran out of words to describe the "beauty" of Newark, New Jersey, etc. I almost made it to New York. Maybe someone else can help finish this article!!

Since we changed the name to Cardinal and Hoosier State, could anyone add some information about the Hoosier State portion? Is this a renamed Kentucky Cardinal, or what? Vaoverland 05:27, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

From what I can gather from Amtrak website, the Hoosier State operates as part of the Cardinal (same schedules) at this time. Perhaps cars are added and dropped at Indianapolis, and the state kicks in financially. If so, good for Indiana! Vaoverland 18:42, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

Not really...subsidizing mass transportation is not the proper role of govenrment. Kurt Weber 21:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Apparently we were both working on clarifying the schedule and route differences between the Cardinal and Hoosier State at the same time, but SPUI did a better job than the version I was working on. I did make one change to clarify that historic Sewell West Virginia is served by the Thurmond, West Virginia station. Good work, SPUI. Vaoverland 22:33, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)
