Amtrak Special??

  • I saw a WB Amtrak through Newton KS at about 4:30 PM when it is usually scheduled to come through at 3 in the morning. This Amtrak didnt have superliners though and had two short-dome cars and an observation car. I was a little over a mile away or else I might've figured it out. It reminded me of the Orient Express possibly all thought I've never seen it in person and I didnt think it came this far east. Thanks for any answers.

  • This may have been an Amtrak business train. The consist sounds much like the one they ran over the KCS a couple of years ago in connection with the possible addition of the "Crescent Star" from Meridian, MS to Dallas. In addition to evaluating the suitability of the proposed route, I believe they met with civic leaders along the line to assess their support for a new passenger service.
