James Whitcomb Riley (train)
The ''James Whitcomb Riley'' was a passenger train operated by the New York Central between Chicago, Illinois and Cincinnati, Ohio via Indianapolis, Indiana. Under Amtrak it merged with the C&O's ''George Washington'' to become a Chicago-Washington train, and would later be renamed the ''Cardinal'', which remains in operation.
== History ==
The ''James Whitcomb Riley'' was introduced by the New York Central on April 28, 1941, as a daytime, all-coach train between Chicago and Cincinnati by way of Indianapolis.〔 It was named after the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley, known for his celebration of Americana. The ''Riley'' was a companion to the ''Mercury'' streamliners which operated on the Chicago-Detroit and Chicago-Cleveland routes.〔 The ''Riley'' was retained by the Penn Central (as trains 303 and 304)〔 after its formation from the ruins of the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad, but in 1968 it petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) for permission to abandon the service, citing the loss of a mail contract and the C&O's termination of through sleepers on the Chicago-Newport News route. The ICC refused, and the ''Riley'' survived until the formation of Amtrak.〔
