Remarks & Notes 
Amtrak is over a year old, but 1446 - which would become Amtrak 202 - still wears its B&O dress. The Floridian would grow to a point where 2 SDP40Fs would be required, but then would be discontinued (1978?) because of dismal ridership. Things generally went well on the south end of the run, but north of Louisville way too much went too wrong too often.
