The proposed train route connecting Chicago to Miami would skip over Tampa.

The proposed Amtrak route from Chicago to Miami would bypass Tampa in its current plan. The Federal Railroad Administration has suggested 15 preferred long-distance routes, aiming to extend Amtrak’s network by over 23,000 miles.

The Chicago to Miami route would include stops in cities like Indianapolis, Nashville, Atlanta, and Orlando but excludes Tampa. Tampa Union Station leaders have urged the inclusion of the city and invited public feedback until March 8.
