Southwest Chief Thru-Car Feasibility Study

Southwest Chief Thru-Car Feasibility Study

A 2019 CRISI Grant award will allow the analysis of Southwest Chief Thru-Car Service from La Junta to Colorado Springs and Pueblo for the Amtrak’s Southwest Chief long-distance train. This future connection will provide easier access to Colorado’s Front Range cities for members of the military, tourism, and health care opportunities, as well as serve as a precursor to future Front Range Passenger Rail service.
