Study of Amtrak line to St. Joseph expected to finish this summer
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- An evaluation looking at the viability of an Amtrak line connecting to St. Joseph is on track to finish in the coming months.
The Missouri Department of Transportation selected Crawford, Murphy & Tilly to conduct a feasibility study looking at options for a proposed Amtrak line to St. Joseph a year ago. MoDOT expected the study to be finished this spring, but it faced a delay.
“The feasibility study consultant requested an extension to complete the work, which was granted,” MoDOT spokesperson Jenna Keyes said in an email statement. “They now expect to have it completed late this summer.”
