I'll leave it to someone else to put this in, but alt-country singer/songwriter Scott Miller has a song about this train line called (suprisingly enough), "Amtrak Crescent". http://www.metropulse.com/dir_zine/dir_2003/1351/t_citybeat.html
He did a tour sponsored by Amtrak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omarcheeseboro ( talk • contribs) 15:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
"The Crescent City" car is located in Dalton, GA and has been donated to the city. It will be relocated to the citys refurbished Freight Depot on Sat June 18th 2011. Here is a link to the newspaper article. Feel free to add this to the article I don't know how to make reference tags. http://daltondailycitizen.com/local/x300517444/Dalton-to-move-historic-train-car Crazy Blue Eyes ( talk) 05:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Are there any plans to cut this line in sections? To me it looks like NY-Greensboro/Charlotte, Greensboro/Charlotte-Birmingham, and Birmingham-New Orleans might work as well if the exchanges work well. This would have the benefit of increasing the amount of passenger cars in selected sections if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.226.59.4 ( talk) 11:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

It appears that Princeton Junction, New Brunswick, and Metropark have been added to the Crescent's northbound run (Amtrak 20). They appear in Amtrak's online schedule tool and on Amtrak's train tracker for current operations, and tickets can be booked for one seat-rides on Crescent-served stations that are not otherwise shared with the Northeast Regional or Carolinian (such as Greenville, SC or Atlanta, GA) to all three of these stations for the next year's worth of time in Amtrak's booking system. However, the official Crescent page on Amtrak's website does not list the three stops (unlike that of the Palmetto, which lists the three stops and New Carrolton on its stations served listing, despite Metropark being the only one of the stops listed to be served by that train in both directions).
With this information, I am not sure if I should modify the related station pages or not to note the stop and schedule changes. I'd like second opinions, if possible. Pokemonred200 ( talk) 23:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Anyone have information on why the #20 trip was scheduled for later departure and for a longer trip? Prior to 2017, the trip began in NOLA: 7:00 am and arrived in NYP: 1:46 pm. Now, the train completes its trip at 6:01 pm. What happened? Dogru144 ( talk) 08:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
As I'm starting to fill in some of the mid-century history, it's clear that the modern Crescent shares nothing but a name with the pre-1970 Crescent. The Southern Crescent inherited both its routing and schedule from the Southerner, while the southbound Crescent/northbound Peach Queen (the opposite direction of each previously discontinued) became the Piedmont. I think the following would be a logical rearrangement:
