New, temporary Amtrak service between Chicago and Florida will soon begin running as the rail agency gears up for major construction along its busy Northeast Corridor. The new Floridian trains will run daily from Chicago to Miami,

Currently, to travel to Florida, Cleveland travelers have to change trains in Washington, D.C. The route also stops in Elyria, Sandusky and Toledo in Ohio. The new route will use single level Viewliner cars, with coach and first-class seating, roomettes and bedrooms with private restrooms and showers.

Amtrak estimates this will be one of its longest train trips, saying the trip could take as long as 47 hours. So, if you’re taking the train — and you can afford it — you may want to invest in one of the sleeper cars.
