Miami to New Orleans

[jis]

You will most likely get to to change to a train to NOL at ORL in the next few years. If you want to wait specifically for SL you’ll be waiting a very long time, maybe forever. [emoji57]

You talking about a CONO extension or some possible non-Amtrak train or what?

All possibilities that are being worked on currently can be found in here:

Extension of CONO is just one possibility.

Anyway this subthread is out of scope for this thread.

Thank you everyone.

You're welcome.

Which combo do you think you'll go with?

I have not decided yet. I have some flexibility in my time but not enough to use the multi pass. And either way the cost is quite a lot higher than I anticipated. Round trip direct flight on my preferred travel dates is only $121 and one way is only $51.

I may go one way by air and come back by train and if so I will go with the Nola to Washington to Miami route.

Next time when I have more time and no need to go anywhere in particular I may get an 8-segment multi pass and make a two week train trip.

Are you saying there might be a train between New Orleans and Orlando in the next few years? That will be the day.

I would also like to be able to take a train to Atlanta.

I totally agree with being able to take a train to Atlanta. Recognize that a train from south Florida to New Orleans to or Atlanta would undoubtedly require multiple trains but wouldn’t it be nice to have that option!
