Locomotive 90229 ex. Amtk 229 has been removed from the heartland flyer service currently and is now replaced with GEP42DC #17
I heard that committee members from the Northern Flyer Alliance came to Kansas City to discuss and plan upcoming public and legislative meetings in the area. There is something likeext 6-8 months of public meetings, legislative contacts, coordination with Amtrak and research to move the Heartland Flyer expansion agenda forward on 2 year timetable. I got a report on the Oklahoma City legislative meeting, and also the Ponca City meeting held last week. The next meetings will be in Arkansas City and Topeka, Kansas on October 17th and 20th, respectively.
Topeka, Kansas television carried news about the most recent legislative meeting organized by Northern Flyer Alliance as work continues to expand Amtrak service by extending the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City to Kansas City. Good coverage of the event and supportive of the effort.
A public meeting is scheduled today in Kansas City where expansion of the Heartland Flyer route will be discussed with community leaders and elected officials.
The notice I saw shows 9:00 am at the Union Station
Has anybody ridden the Flyer recently because I just took my 61st trip this evening?
