Amtrak trims routes to restore daily service nationwide
Amtrak moves to end four underperforming routes and restore daily trains on others as part of a plan to save about 200 million dollars. The changes, effective November 10, affect 131 cities with service, cut 42 communities, and aim to close a nearly 60 million shortfall in 1997. The Silver Palm adds a third daily New York to Miami train. Sunset Limited will start/finish at Sanford.
