The Carolinian (889/890) is actually a through train to/from New York in
combination with the present Palmetto (89/90).  The cars for the
Carolinian are split from the Palmetto in Richmond, VA and the train
follows the ex-SAL route to Raleigh (also served by the Silver Star)
before switching to Southern rails to continue to Charlotte.

A related service change is that the "second section" of the Crescent
which ran this past summer between New York and Washington to handle
local passengers is now a separate train, the Virginian, and has been
extended to/from Richmond.  This train will permanantly remove local
Northeast Corridor passengers from The Crescent, according it the same
status as the Silver Star/Silver Meteor to/from Florida.  BTW the Auto
Train operates daily as of October 15.
