<p class=bodytextnojust><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>The Kansas Department of Transportation has unveiled a
study that identifies four possible passenger rail routes from Kansas City to Fort
Worth, Texas. <br>
<br>
According to this article from the Associated Press, two of the proposed routes
are day routes, and two are for night travel. The routes link ''the corridor
with the line between Texas and Oklahoma and the line between Chicago and Los Angeles.
The new routes would return rail service to Wichita, which lost its passenger
trains when Amtrak cut routes in 1979.'' <br>
