    If Amtrak wants to improve its Silver Star route, the train really needs to be operating on the same schedule that the Champion had back in 1979. That would allow for a daytime service Tampa-Raleigh and give Raleigh the night train to the north to compliment its daytime Carolinian train.
    However, the better thing Amtrak needs to do is going back to offering a split operation of both of its trains to run separately south of Jacksonville or Orlando to Tampa and Miami.
