I was looking for a decent way to go from Raleigh to Atlanta by train. There isn't one. So I thought about extending the Carolinian down to Atlanta - but that is much too long for a daylight trip. Then I thought about running a train just from Washington to Atlanta. That's doable and avoids all of the future infrastructure problems of the NEC. It would be a trip of 737 miles and would need the cooperation of VA - NC - SC - GA. It would also require some track upgrades such as what to do with the train when it gets to Atlanta. Attached is a possible schedule.
If only.
The name is just something I came up with. I don't know if there is a better name, referring to a prior train having existed.
