The push to bring passenger train service back to Wichita is gaining steam and dozens of state lawmakers are on board for the idea. They lined up Monday to sign on as co-sponsors of a new resolution urging Kansas congressional delegation to support one specific part of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill that would pump $80 billion into the nation’s railways. Amtrak has said if that passes it will create 30 new routes and extend service to 160 new communities, including a return to service of the route from Oklahoma City through Wichita to Newton.
