Amtrak service cuts proposed by Adams face Congress
Transport Secretary Brock Adams proposed trimming Amtrak service by 8,100 miles of the 27,000 mile network and hundreds of jobs to save taxpayers 118 million dollars in 1980. He urged a middle road amid five options, soon to be debated in Congress and at public hearings. Some routes would be dropped entirely, including Dallas, Omaha, Salt Lake City, Nashville and Williamsburg, with Maine and several western states losing all service.
