Amtrak Restoring Service While Missouri Moves to Limit It
As Amtrak moves to restore both state supported regional service and long distance trains to pre-pandemic schedules, the Missouri legislature doesn t seem inclined to pay for twice a day service on the Missouri River Runner which stops in Sedalia and Warrensburg on it s route between Kansas City and St. Louis.
Over the course of the next three weeks Amtrak is restoring most of it s long distance trains to daily service. This week the Texas Eagle, which stops in St. Louis between Chicago and San Antonio / Los Angeles goes back to daily service. Next week the Southwest Chief, which stops in Kansas City on it s route between Chicago and Los Angeles, begins daily service.
