TheGeorgian was a long-distancepassenger train operated by theLouisville and Nashville Railroad in conjunction with theChicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. It operated betweenSt. LouisUnion Station andAtlanta'sUnion Station with a section operated by the C&EI fromEvansville toChicago'sDearborn Station. From Nashville to Atlanta it operated over the tracks of theNashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. The introduction of this train made the C&EI's Chicago-EvansvilleWhippoorwill train superfluous.[1][2][3][4][5]

It was begun in 1946 as astreamliner. As a night train, it offeredsleeping car anddining car services. In 1968 the L&N Railroad discontinued theGeorgian. In its place was an unnamed St. Louis-Evansville train, and an unnamed Evansville-Atlanta train. (The Chicago branch from Evansville eliminated, passengers seeking an L&N route would need to wait several hours at Nashville for a connection to theSouth Wind.)[6] The St. Louis-Evansville and the Evansville-Atlanta trains were among the trains thatAmtrak chose not to pick up when it assumed long-distance operations on May 1, 1971.[1][2] Since that time Atlanta has had no service heading directly north to Tennessee.[1][2][7]
