Running several hours off schedule for the third time in the past week due to equipment issues in Chicago, Amtrak No. 50 (P050 on CSX), the eastbound "Cardinal", leaves the skyline of the Queen City of Cincinnati behind as it heads east on the former C&O mainline in Newport, Kentucky.
Kentucky hasn't been lucky with Amtrak. The Floridian and Kentucky Cardinal are gone. The Cardinal runs only three times a week. The City of New Orleans passes through in the middle of the night. Yet, there are still many good views to be seen.
