City seeks extra rail upgrades on Southwest Chief line
Garden City officials on Tuesday authorized a grant amendment request to the FRA to use remaining project funds and salvage value, about 2.15 million, to upgrade four to five more miles of track on the Southwest Chief through southwest Kansas. The Tiger Grant work is reported as largely complete with cost savings of about 810 thousand dollars. The Amtrak Southwest Chief runs daily from Chicago to Los Angeles and has faced slow speeds due to poor Kansas track conditions.
