Final Run Today For SFs No 23 Latta Train Ends In Garden City
Train No 23 known as the old Grand Canyon made its final Garden City run at 2 a.m. bound for Los Angeles while Train No 24 heads to Chicago and ends tomorrow. Amtrak plans eliminate both routes, leaving only the Super Chief El Capitan to serve limited Kansas stops. Officials plead for patience as the system overhaul proceeds amid court and Senate actions. Amtrak projects losses in initial year but explores adding new routes including a Buffalo to Chicago connection boosting regional service.
