Amtrak Government Affairs: November 2014 Procurement/Contracts Amtrak spent $61,651,509 on goods and services in Missouri in FY14, including at:
City Amount Grain Valley $ 49,569,145 St. Joseph $ 1,601,784 St. Louis $ 8,686,744

PRIIA Section 209 and State-Assisted Services The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) required, by October 2013, an equitable arrangement of cost sharing between Amtrak and state or public agency partners that provide funding for short-distance, intercity train services. Agreements were reached with all parties, including Missouri, by the deadline, and the services continued to run without interruption.
Amtrak operates two daily trains between St. Louis and Kansas City, the Missouri River Runners, under contract, for the State of Missouri. Ridership on the Missouri River Runner trains reached 199,471 in FY13, 1.8% higher than FY12.
Amtrak worked with the several Midwest state partners, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, to bring complimentary AmtrakConnect Wi-Fi service to customers on all short-distance corridors in those states, in 2014.
Kansas City-St. Louis improvements Missouri’s success at securing Federal grant funds to complement the state’s resources represents the continuation of a multi-year trend dating back to 2008. In 2012, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) was awarded a $22.6-million High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program grant to construct a second bridge over the Osage River in Central Missouri, eliminating one of the most problematic rail bottlenecks in the Midwest. The remainder of the $28 million cost will be covered by the Union Pacific Railroad, which owns the route. The second track will allow for better performance of Missouri River Runner trains which use the route. The project was completed in late 2013.
Station Improvements Arcadia Valley: Amtrak is working with local officials to return passenger rail service to the Acadia- Ironton area along the route of the Texas Eagle. The community has secured funding for the construction of a new boarding platform and anticipates service beginning late in 2015.
Hermann: Local officials held a ribbon-cutting for a new station on September 12, 2014.
