Amtrak is launching a new route this fall between Chicago and Miami, stopping in Jacksonville.

Amtrak has launched ticket sales for the Floridian, a new temporary route providing a direct round-trip service between Chicago and Miami. This service aims to enhance connectivity and offer travelers a scenic option for moving between these two vibrant cities making an intermediate stop in Jacksonville.

The Floridian route is designed to capture the attention of both leisure and business travelers, providing an alternative to flying or driving. Passengers can expect comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and the chance to enjoy picturesque views along the way, including parts of the Midwest and the South.

As a seasonal offering, the Floridian is part of Amtrak's efforts to expand its services and cater to demand, especially in areas where travel options may be limited, including Jacksonville. This initiative not only promotes rail travel but also emphasizes the importance of sustainable transportation solutions.
