IC also ran passengers on its Chicago-to-Omaha line, though it was never among the top performers on this route. Illinois Central's largest passenger terminal, <a href="/wiki/Central_Station_(Chicago_terminal)" title="Central Station (Chicago terminal)">Central Station</a>, stood at 12th Street east of Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Due to the railroad's north–south route from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, Illinois Central passenger trains were one means of transport during the <a href="/wiki/African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African American</a> <a href="/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_American)" title="Great Migration (African American)">Great Migration</a> of the 1920s.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Illinois Central's most famous train was the <i><a href="/wiki/Panama_Limited" title="Panama Limited">Panama Limited</a></i>, a premier all-Pullman car service between Chicago and New Orleans, with a section breaking off at Carbondale to serve St. Louis. In 1949, it added a daytime all-coach companion, the <i><a href="/wiki/City_of_New_Orleans_(train)" title="City of New Orleans (train)">City of New Orleans</a>,</i> which operated with a St. Louis section breaking off at Carbondale and a <a href="/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky" title="Louisville, Kentucky">Louisville</a> section breaking off at <a href="/wiki/Fulton,_Kentucky" title="Fulton, Kentucky">Fulton, Kentucky</a>. In 1967, due to losses incurred by the operation of the train, the Illinois Central combined the Panama Limited with a coach-only train called the <i><a href="/wiki/Magnolia_Star" class="mw-redirect" title="Magnolia Star">Magnolia Star</a></i>. </p><p>On May 1, 1971, Amtrak took over intercity rail service. It retained service over the IC mainline, but dropped the <i>Panama Limited</i> in favor of the <i>City of New Orleans.</i> However, since it did not connect with any other trains in either New Orleans or Chicago, Amtrak moved the route to an overnight schedule and brought back the <i>Panama Limited</i> name. However, it restored the <i>City of New Orleans</i> name in 1981, while retaining the overnight schedule. This was to capitalize on the popularity of a <a href="/wiki/City_of_New_Orleans_(song)" title="City of New Orleans (song)">song about the train</a> written by <a href="/wiki/Steve_Goodman" title="Steve Goodman">Steve Goodman</a> and performed by <a href="/wiki/Arlo_Guthrie" title="Arlo Guthrie">Arlo Guthrie</a>. <a href="/wiki/Willie_Nelson" title="Willie Nelson">Willie Nelson</a>'s recording of the song was #1 on the Hot Country Charts in 1984. </p><p>Illinois Central ran several other trains along the main route including <i>The Creole</i> and <i>The Louisiane</i>. </p><p>The <i><a href="/wiki/Green_Diamond" title="Green Diamond">Green Diamond</a></i> was the Illinois Central's premier train between Chicago, Springfield and St. Louis. Other important trains included the <i>Hawkeye</i> which ran daily between Chicago and Sioux City and the <i><a href="/wiki/City_of_Miami_(train)" title="City of Miami (train)">City of Miami</a></i> eventually running every other day between Chicago and Miami via the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Coast_Line_Railroad" title="Atlantic Coast Line Railroad">Atlantic Coast Line</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Central_of_Georgia_Railroad" class="mw-redirect" title="Central of Georgia Railroad">Central of Georgia Railroad</a> and <a href="/wiki/Florida_East_Coast_Railway" title="Florida East Coast Railway">Florida East Coast Railway</a>. </p><p>The Illinois Central was also a major operator of <a href="/wiki/Commuter_rail" title="Commuter rail">commuter trains</a> in the Chicago area, operating what eventually became the "IC Electric" line from Randolph Street Terminal in downtown Chicago to the southeast suburbs. In 1987, IC sold this line to <a href="/wiki/Metra" title="Metra">Metra</a>, who operates it as the <a href="/wiki/Metra_Electric_District" title="Metra Electric District">Metra Electric District</a>. It still operates out of what is now <a href="/wiki/Millennium_Station" title="Millennium Station">Millennium Station</a>, which is still called "Randolph Street Terminal" by many longtime Chicago-area residents. In honor of the <i>Panama Limited,</i> the Electric District appears as "Panama Orange" on Metra system maps and timetables. Additionally, the IC operated a second commuter line out of Chicago (the <a href="/wiki/Illinois_Central_West_Line" title="Illinois Central West Line">West Line</a>) which served Chicago's western suburbs. Unlike the electrified commuter service, the West Line did not generate much traffic and was eliminated in 1931. </p><p>Amtrak presently runs three trains daily over this route, the <i><a href="/wiki/City_of_New_Orleans_(train)" title="City of New Orleans (train)">City of New Orleans</a></i> and the <a href="/wiki/Illini_and_Saluki" title="Illini and Saluki"><i>Illini</i> and <i>Saluki</i></a> between Chicago and Carbondale. Another Illinois corridor service is planned for the former <i>Black Hawk</i> route between Chicago, Rockford and Dubuque. Amtrak, at the state of Illinois' request, did a feasibility study to reinstate the <i>Black Hawk</i> route to Rockford and Dubuque. Initial capital costs range from $32 million to $55 million, depending on the route. Once in operation, the service would require roughly $5 million a year in subsidies from the state.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On December 10, 2010, IDOT announced the route choice for the resumption of service to begin in 2014 going over mostly <a href="/wiki/Canadian_National_Railway" title="Canadian National Railway">CN</a> railway.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template noprint noexcerpt Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTRS"><span title="This claim needs references to better sources.
