Website Launched to Promote the Hoosier State

Iowa Pacific has launched a website to promote travel via the Chicago-Indianapolis Hoosier State.

The site, www.hoosierstatetrain.com, enables visitors to view photographs of the interior of the train, check out the dining car menus, and find out information about things to do and places to visit in the online communities served.

The Hoosier State operates with equipment provided by Iowa Pacific Holdings, which owns and operates several short line and tourist train operations around the United States.

Operating crews are furnished by Amtrak, which also provides reservations booking services.

The Indiana Department of Transportation along with several communities served by the train are providing funding for the service.

Amtrak operated the Hoosier State until earlier this year.
