Three Rivers (train)
The ''Three Rivers'' was a daily Amtrak train running between New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois. It operated via Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Akron, Ohio. The ''Three Rivers'' replaced the ''Broadway Limited'' in 1995. The route was cancelled, with the last train running on March 7, 2005, due to Amtrak's unilateral cancellation of a United States Postal Service contract on the line.
Service east of Pittsburgh continues to be provided by the ''Pennsylvanian''. Stations previously served between Pittsburgh and Hammond–Whiting are bereft of passenger trains, though the ''Capitol Limited'' provides service between Pittsburgh and Chicago via Cleveland, Ohio.
== History ==
Amtrak began the ''Three Rivers'' on September 10, 1995, as a replacement for the discontinued ''Broadway Limited''. Originally the train ran between New York and Pittsburgh, extending a New York—Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ''Keystone Service''. It carried the numbers 46/47. In Pittsburgh, the train exchanged mail cars with the Chicago—Washington, D.C. ''Capitol Limited''. Passengers continuing to Chicago changed trains manually. Through service began on February 1, 1996: two ''Three Rivers'' Amfleet coaches were coupled to the Superliner consist of the ''Capitol Limited''. Through passengers reached the ''Capitol Limited'' portion of the train via the transition dorm.〔
Amtrak ended the switching operation on November 10, 1996 in favor of extending the ''Three Rivers'' to Chicago as an independent train. Amtrak restored the ''Broadway Limiteds numbers (40/41), but because of equipment shortages could not restore sleeper service nor a full dining car. Operating at the height of Amtrak's experiment with mail and express business, a typical late 1990s ''Three Rivers'' carried 4-6 passenger cars and upwards of 25 mail cars.〔
