  • TIGER Grant History As the BNSF Line Serving the Southwest Chief Is Not A
    TIGER Grant History As the BNSF line serving the Southwest Chief is not a major freight route, the conditions of the rail were deteriorating which led to BNSF to reduce the speed limit on the route from 79 to 60 mph and it was highly probable that the speed limit could be further reduced to 30 mph. This caused concerns with Amtrak, due to the ability to complete the Chicago to Los Angeles run in 24 hours. Major improvements were needed to restore the overall speed and reliability of the line as well as the ride quality experienced by Amtrak’s passengers. There were also rumors regarding BNSF having an interest in divesting of their route through western Kansas. In January 2010, BNSF offered to reroute the Southwest Chief to other freight routes, thereby eliminating the Southwest Chief between Newton KS and Lamy NM. At that time, Amtrak chose to maintain the current service and pay the additional maintenance costs. In 2011, BNSF estimated that the 10-year capital investment needed for Amtrak to preserve the entire 636 miles of the Southwest Chief from Newton, KS to Lamy, NM was $300 million. Garden City officials met with BNSF officials, Kansas Senate President Steve Morris and KDOT officials on January 25, 2012, regarding future intentions along the La Junta subdivision. BNSF stated that this line will stay in their ownership. From that early 2012 meeting, the Southwest Chief Rural Rail Partnership was born and a phased approach to rehabilitation of the route was conceived. The Partnership includes municipal governments, county governments and other interested passenger rail organizations.
