Amtrak
Amtrak revived the name Ann Rutledge on February 15, 1976 for an Amfleet-equipped train on the St. Louis–Chicago, replacing a Turboliner frequency. The revival proved short-lived: on October 31 Amtrak extended the Laredo–St. Louis Inter-American through to Chicago, replacing the Ann Rutledge. In a reversal of the situation with the Alton in the 1930s, Amtrak used the Ann Rutledge's Amfleet coaches to re-equip a revived Abraham Lincoln. Amtrak revived the name again on October 30, 1977, replacing the Abraham Lincoln. Finally satisfied with the name, Amtrak operated the Ann Rutledge until 2009.
