[quote user="Sawtooth500"]I heard rumors that BNSF wants to reroute the chief via clovis and is talking to Amtrak about it. Any additional info?[/quote] I have head a similar rumor.  I was in Garden City Kansas earlier this week.  The station in Garden City has a sign on the front door saying that it is is closed, although passengers may buy their tickets on-line or on-board the train.  They can also buy them from the reservations center.  Also, in driving between Garden City and Holcomb, as well as Garden City and Dodge City, I noticed that most of the BNSF track is jointed rail as opposed to continuous welded rail.  And I did not see a single freight train on the line, although I spent several hours looking for one.  This suggests to me at least that the rumor that BNSF wants to downgrade the line has some merit.  Presumably it is the desire to downgrade the line that has led BNSF to suggest to Amtrak that it re-route the Southwest Chief.
