I found an Amtrak Thruway bus connection in the state of Ohio that is not shown on any of Amtrak's online or printed timetables, but it is in the reservations inventory. Since Amtrak doesn't want to tell you about it, I will. It connects in Toledo with the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited to & from the east, and is a regular Greyhound bus run. It goes to Trotwood-Dayton and Cincinnati-Greyhound. The Amtrak trip numbers are 8529 (TOL-CIG) and 8530 (CIG-TOL).

Trotwood-Dayton is also on the route of the Pittsburgh-Indianapolis trips 8029 & 8030.

There is also a "secret" Toledo-Columbus Thruway bus also connecting with the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited to & from the east, 8929 & 8930.

Found another one in Ohio, at least partially.... This one operates between Chicago and Toledo providing reverse service to the existing Lake Shore and Capitol Limiteds.    8730 runs Chicago to Toledo in the morning, and 8729 runs Toledo to Chicago in the afternoon.   Not sure if there are any intermediate stops or whether it goes beyond Toledo.
