ABOUT THE CARDINAL AND BEECH GROVE

Amtrak's Cardinal (Train 50 eastbound and Train 51 westbound) run 1145 miles between New York Penn Station and Chicago Union Station. There is a locomotive change at Washington, DC. Between Washington and New York, Siemens electrics are generally used on the northeast corridor. Diesel locomotives are employed between Chicago and Washington DC.

The first or last 244 miles are on the Northeast Corridor, which is owned by MetroNorth and Amtrak. Most of the remaining mileage is CSX, except for short segments of NS and Buckingham in Virginia and in CN/UP/NS in the Chicago complex.

The Cardinal is unique, in that on certain days it serves as an equipment shuttle between Chicago and Indianapolis. Beech Grove shop is the maintenance base for superliner passenger cars and does heavy repairs in GE P42,s.
