An Amtrak passenger train rolled into Wichita’s Union Station back in 2017 as part of an inspection ride to see the viability of service. It was only a test at the time but soon, the real thing could return to the air capital. Wednesday the Kansas Department of Transportation held a virtual update on the proposed expansion of the Heartland Flyer line that would connect Oklahoma City to Newton. Sedgwick County Commissioner Pete Meitzner was listening to the update and said it seems like there is a lot of momentum behind the project. “You hate to over promise but you can kind of feel the enthusiasm and the confidence on that call.” It would be a major connection for the region.
