Columbus lost Amtrak service when Amtrak abandoned the National Limited from NY to St. Louis in 1979. This was my grandfather's train when he worked the PRR. Bet Amtrak wishes they'd kept this instead of the Cardinal right now, but that's not the world we're living in.

In fairness to Amtrak, Columbus Union had been actively destroyed a few years prior.

The Cardinal was actually one of the trains that was planned to be discontinued but was basically saved by Senator Byrd. The National Limited unfortunately had uh, many issues.
