[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] The 3 mayors of Oklahoma City, Wichita and Kansas City KS have signed a letter supporting the idea of extending the Amtrak service northward [URL=http://media.kansas.com/smedia/2013/05/10/14/49/xn1Hy.So.80.pdf]to at least Wichita.[/URL] Meanwhile, Kansas and Oklahoma are putting up money [URL=http://www.kansas.com/2013/05/10/2797715/wichita-kc-okc-mayors-support.html]to get a federal grant to cover cost of the extension.[/URL] [URL=http://www.ksdot.org/PDF_Files/FINAL-Amtrak-Study.pdf]In 2010 it was estimated[/URL] that an extension of the Heartland Flyer to Newton KS would require about $114 million in track improvements to support the new service. Stopping in Wichita would save money on start-up costs, but it would likely make connections to/from the SW Chief at Newton difficult. [/QB][/QUOTE]
