Prior Timetable

Through the timetable for June 1969, the South Wind continued to provide through service from Chicago to Florida. However, by February of 1970 the Penn Central had pulled out of the joint operating agreement for the train, leaving L. & N. and S. C. L. to continue it on their own. While Penn Central did not discontinue service completely, the train's run was now split and Chicago passengers had to transfer from Penn Central's train 90 to the South Wind in Louisville. This manner of operation would continue up until the transfer of passenger service to Amtrak in May 1971.

Note:  The South Wind operates April 1, 1971 and every other day thereafter (April 3, 5, 7, etc.) departing from both Louisville and Miami.  The City of Miami (Chicago to Florida via Jackson, TN and Birmingham - I.C., C. of G., S.C.L.) operates on the same schedule between Waycross, GA and both Miami and St. Petersburg on the days the South Wind does not operate.  Therefore, there is daily service between Waycross, GA and Miami/St. Petersburg, and every other day service between Louisville and Waycross, GA via Louisville and Nashville.

Note: The South Wind operates combined with the Pan-American between Louisville and Montgomery, AL.

Effective May 1, 1971 the South Wind would become a daily train for the first time in its history and through service to Chicago would resume as Amtrak consolidated all passenger service from Florida to the Midwest on this route. However, the service would only last for slightly more than 8 years. Bedeviled with poor timekeeping, in large part the result of deteriorating track conditions due to deferred maintenance, the Floridian (as Amtrak renamed it) would be discontinued with the Carter cutbacks in 1979.
