=== ''Hoosier State'' === {{main|Hoosier State (train)|Kentucky Cardinal (Amtrak)}} With the Indianapolis routing, the ''Cardinal'' began operating jointly with the Chicago–Indianapolis ''Hoosier State''. The ''Hoosier State'' operated to Indianapolis on the days the ''Cardinal'' did not, assuring seven-day service between Chicago and Indianapolis. This pattern ceased on October{{nbsp}}25, 1987, when the ''Hoosier State'' became a full-fledged daily train once again. The ''Hoosier State'' was dropped on September{{nbsp}}8, 1995, but resumed again on July{{nbsp}}19, 1998, again running on days that the ''Cardinal'' did not run. On December{{nbsp}}17, 1999, Amtrak extended the ''Hoosier State'' to [[Jeffersonville, Indiana]], (and later to [[Louisville, Kentucky]]) and renamed the train the ''Kentucky Cardinal''. This new train was a daily service; on days when the ''Cardinal'' operated, the two trains ran combined between Indianapolis and Chicago. Amtrak ultimately discontinued the ''Kentucky Cardinal'' on July{{nbsp}}4, 2003, and brought back the ''Hoosier State'' on the pre-1999 schedule. After Indiana discontinued its subsidy, Amtrak suspended the ''Hoosier State'' as of June{{nbsp}}30, 2019. Passengers who booked trips after that date were compensated with ''Cardinal'' tickets.
