Note:  The City of Miami operates April 2, 1971 and every other day thereafter (April 4, 6, 8, etc.) departing from both Chicago and Miami.  The South Wind (Chicago to Florida via Louisville and Montgomery—P.C., L&N, S.C.L.) operates on the same schedule between Waycross, GA and both Miami and St. Petersburg on the days the City of Miami does not operate.  Therefore, there is daily service between Waycross, GA and Miami/St. Petersburg, and every other day service between Chicago and Waycross, GA via Jackson, TN.
