Lone Star Train Ends Service Amid Amtrak Cutbacks
Amtrak won permission to stop the Lone Star between Chicago and Houston, ending a 31 year run for William Harrison who served fried chicken on wood stoves. Justice White granted the halt while a federal appeals court weighs the trains’ future after Kansas and others argued against the cutoff. Local workers including conductor Bob Gorman and baggage man Clyde Billingsley mourn the loss and express fear for further cuts.
