Amtrak Sunset Limited could boost West Texas tourism
Amtrak officials project the Sunset Limited through the Basin could add 2.9 million dollars in yearly revenue and cut travel time by ten hours. Local leaders and groups such as MANO and the Odessa Chamber of Commerce see tourism and convention business growing with improved rail connections to Amarillo, Lubbock, and New Mexico. Plans include new depots, a multimodal center in Odessa, and potential weekend packages tied to Big Bend trips.
