This train began in 1894 and continued in the Amtrak era from 1971. From 1993 to 2005, the Sunset Limited operated an extended service to Florida, terminating in Miami from 1993 to 1996 and in Orlando for most of 1996 through 2005, and becoming Amtrak's longest and only
coast-to-coast train route. Major stops between New Orleans and Miami included
Mobile (Alabama), Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Orlando (Florida). However, the route east of New Orleans was permanently halted in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.
