Interesting to look at the "hot deals" section of the Amtrak website. Seems the Capitol Limited no longer has deeply discounted fares from Pittsburgh - Chicago. It does have discounted fares from WAS - PGH, however. The Cardinal, OTOH, has discounted fares all the way to CHI.
We should also note the "hot deals" discounts up to 70%; booking in advance usually will give you a discount of 50% or so.
This makes me cautiously optimistic about service between PGH-CHI. I don't think it's enough to support another separate daylight train (remember the now defunct Three Rivers), however.
