Summit aims to keep Amtrak Southwest Chief on track
Amtrak officials and a regional coalition met in Garden City to review funding challenges for the Southwest Chief. They warned the line through western Kansas, southeast Colorado, and northern New Mexico could be rerouted south if maintenance costs and funding do not improve in the next few years. Amtrak's Paul Wilter stressed no panic, but a need to act within a short time frame as BNSF shifts freight traffic to the Transcon route.
