Garden City To Host Rail Summit

KSCB News - March 22, 2012 8:12 am

Garden City will host Amtrak and BNSF
representatives next month for a discussion about the future of an
Amtrak route that runs through the area.
City Manager Matt Allen told the Garden City Commission this
week that the meeting is scheduled for April 10.
Allen said the objective of the summit is to discuss issues
relating to the future of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief, Amtrak’s
passenger rail route that runs from Chicago to Los Angeles daily,
passing through Kansas.
Amtrak uses BNSF Railway lines. Because of dispute over rail
maintenance, Amtrak is considering an alternate route that would go
south from Newton through the Texas Panhandle to New Mexico.
