Whittaker fights Amtrak plan to staff Emporia depot
Rep. Bob Whittaker challenges Amtrak action to remove all day staff at the Emporia depot starting January 1. A part-time worker would unlock doors before trains arrive and lock up after departure, forcing passengers to mail or prebuy tickets. Whittaker proposes one full-time attendant during 2 and 4 am arrivals to preserve some service and prevent station closure. He warns the move could end Emporia rail service and urges Kansans to back expanded rail operations.
