Amtrak announced a new, temporary route on Monday, causing some social media users to question who would be willing to embark on the full journey.

"Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Floridian! This train combines two iconic routes — the Capitol Limited and Silver Star — and will offer traditional dining throughout the full journey," Amtrak officials wrote in an X post on Monday, which was viewed 12 million times.

A map of the route shows the train beginning its journey in Chicago, heading to Washington, D.C., before continuing south to Miami, Florida. There will be one train in each direction per day, said Amtrak, and the train will consist of Amtrak's "Viewliner" cars. 

TRAVELERS COULD FACE NEW PENALTY FOR EXCEEDING BAGGAGE LIMIT ON TRAINS

The train will make direct round-trips between "Chicago and Miami with intermediate stops in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa"

"The Floridian offers customers an exceptional and sustainable journey to great destinations between Chicago and Miami, providing the amenities and delicious food our guests enjoy when traveling with us," Eliot Hamlisch, Amtrak's executive vice president and chief commercial officer, said in a press release from Amtrak. 

Previously, riders on the Capitol Limited train route from D.C., to Chicago did not have a traditional dining car. Instead, the train had a less limited "flexible dining" option for its first-class private room passengers, says Amtrak's website.

The Floridian came about due to the East River Tunnel (ERT) Rehabilitation Project, which will "restore the two tubes that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy," according to Amtrak.

"The work will modernize the tunnel infrastructure, improving safety, reliability and security and bring the systems to a state of good repair," said Amtrak.

Jim Mathews, president and CEO of the Rail Passengers Association, located in D.C., said the Floridian is an "innovative solution to keeping passengers moving" during the repair.

Amtrak previously ran a Chicago-to-Florida route from 1971 until 1979, says the website Trains.com. That train was also called the "Floridian."

The return of a train route connecting the Midwest to Florida has been a longtime dream of train enthusiasts, Mathews said in Amtrak's release.

"We’re thrilled that a new generation of American passengers will be able to experience this service for themselves," said Mathews.

On X, users pointed out how the journey from Chicago to Miami on the Floridian was estimated to take 46 hours and 29 minutes – nearly two days – and some said the cost was considerably more than a flight between the two cities.

Amtrak's website lists a one-way coach ticket from Chicago to Miami priced at $466 for Nov. 10, which is the first day of service on the Floridian. But, on Nov. 12, the one-way ticket is priced lower at $113.

"Midwesterners will still be driving the 20 hours," said the X account "Midwest vs. Everybody." 

"For folks out there who have flown from Miami to Chicago and thought 'I wish this took 10 times longer,' check it out," said another X user, who followed up with "I like trains too, guys. Please shut up." 

"I prefer taking a train from Chicago to Miami because it is more expensive, takes longer AND is hard to sleep on," said another X user. 

"I'd love to not fly. I hate airports, flying, turbulence, etc. But this, for a family of 4, one way... is embarrassing," said another X user, showing a price of $2,193.

Other X users appeared to have a positive take on the announcement. 

"Ya know, it still sounds more pleasant than dealing with flying though," one man wrote. 

"Seems like a cool little trip to take over week or so," another user posted.

The Floridian makes its inaugural trip on Sunday, Nov. 10. 

When reached for comment, a representative from Amtrak declined to say when the service would cease. 

As tensions continue to mount between Israel and Lebanon, Jerusalem on Wednesday called up reserve brigades to its northern border and ordered them to be "prepared" as Israel stares down a "new phase of the campaign."

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a "number" of reservists were called up for "operational activities in the northern arena."

Fox News Digital could not confirm the exact number of Israeli soldiers being called to the northern border, though government-sponsored public broadcasting Israeli news outlet KAN reported that at least two reserve brigades had been mobilized. 

"You hear the jets overhead. We have been striking all day. This is both to prepare the ground for your possible entry and to continue degrading Hezbollah," Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, chief of the General Staff, said while speaking to his troops on the northern border. "Today, Hezbollah expanded its range of fire, and later today, they will receive a very strong response."

"Prepare yourselves," he added. "Today, we will continue. We are not stopping."

The IDF said the order to mobilize reservists would further its combat operations against Hezbollah, as well as continue to secure the north to ensure Israelis can return to their homes in the region.  

"We have entered a new phase of the campaign, and we must be fully prepared for maneuvering and action," Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, head of the Northern Command, said following his assessment of the troops on the border Tuesday.

"We are now in Operation ‘Northern Arrows,’" he continued. "Facing this, we need to change the security situation, and we must be fully prepared for maneuvers and action."

Israel has not formally announced any plans for a land invasion into Lebanon, but security experts have been warning for weeks that this is the likely next step as Jerusalem continues to ramp up its aerial campaign against Hezbollah. 

Leaders from around the world have met at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to address the world’s most pressing issues, and Israel’s war in Gaza, as well as its strikes in Lebanon, have dominated the week’s debate.

Earlier this month, the Israeli prime minister’s office said Benjamin Netanyahu would be attending the top meeting in New York, though as the fighting along the northern border escalated over the last week it became increasingly unclear if he would actually make the trip.

Netanyahu’s office confirmed Wednesday that the prime minister will leave for the meeting Thursday instead of this evening as previously planned, and will address the UNGA on Friday with the intention of returning to Israel on Saturday.

It is unclear why exactly he postponed his departure, though it coincides with reporting Wednesday that said the entire Political-Security Cabinet will now convene this evening – a move that suggests proposals could be put forward that require a vote, according to KAN reporting.

Netanyahu’s office also confirmed Wednesday morning that the prime minister "will hold consultations with security officials in order to discuss the continuation of the attacks in Lebanon."

By Wednesday afternoon, Israel had hit more than 280 Hezbollah targets in a one-day period and was continuing to conduct strikes against weapons storage facilities and other targets. 

The barrage of missile fire came after Hezbollah launched what it claimed was a ballistic missile toward the headquarters of the Mossad intelligence agency in Tel Aviv. 

The missile, which was intercepted, was fired by the terrorist network one day after Israel killed Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi in an airstrike in Beirut. 

The exchange of fire continued after Lebanon saw its deadliest day of conflict since 2006 on Monday with nearly 500 people were killed, according to local authorities, including more than 90 women and children.
