The times look pretty good to me. It's just to bad we can't have a train calling those times.

Oh yeah great point, entirely! Maybe someday we will have a train over there again. I always have liked that route. I am not gonna get my hopes up too high, though. I plan on making a little "on the day off/no working" trip over there before the train stops running. I am sure the other trains will be rerouted over there once in a while when circumstances warrant.

We will still probably still see an ocassional move over there.

But, Amtrak may shift some service back over there anyway. Rumor has it CSX is trying to sell or abandon part of the Sanford Sub (between Auburndale and Taft). If the line is abandoned Amtrak may end up back over there anyway. CSX is also trying to sell the entire Auburndale Sub (from Auburndale to Dyer). Word is RailAmerica might pick it up, but there's no official word on that. Another possibility is that the State could buy the lines and run its own service between Orlando and Miami, as well as Amtrak service already in place.
