Passenger service was originally discontinued in 1967, with the Thoroughbred. From 1975 to 1979, Amtrak's Floridian operated over this route, after having operated over deteriorating Penn Central trackage. And in 1980, Amtrak introduced the Hoosier State over this route, joined in 1986 by the Cardinal. Those trains would use the former Monon as far south as the Ames junction in Crawfordsville, and the former Peoria & Eastern line between Ames and Indianapolis. The Peoria & Eastern was a subsidiary of New York Central, that line as well as the former Monon is now part of CSX.
