It is reported that Amtrak President Boardman has committed to spend the major portion ($145K out of $250K) of funds necessary to construct a new passenger platform for Amtrak stops in Hope, Arkansas (boyhood home of President Clinton). Old station is now a museum, but local folks have been working since 1993 to get passenger service restored.
