PRIIA Section 209 and State-Supported 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, confirming the importance of this service to

the state and its residents. Amtrak operates two daily trains between St. Louis and Kansas City, the

Missouri River Runners, under contract, for the State of Missouri.

Kansas City-St. Louis improvements

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 worst rail bottlenecks in the Midwest. The remainder of the $28 million

cost was covered by the Union Pacific Railroad, the route’s owner. The second track allows for better

performance of Missouri River Runner trains. The project was completed in late 2013.

Station Improvements

Arcadia: Amtrak and the Arcadia Valley communities of Pilot Knob, Ironton, and Arcadia, and the Our

Town Tomorrow community revitalization organization on celebrated the opening of their new, ADA-

compliant platform, on November 17, 2016. Funding came from the Iron County Economic Partnership,

the William Edgar Foundation, and a Transportation Enhancement Grant from the Missouri Department of

Transportation. The last passenger rail service to the community was provided by the Missouri Pacific

Railroad in 1968. The community preserved their 1941 depot as a visitor center. It is adjacent to the new

platform and will resume its original purpose as a waiting room for Texas Eagle passengers.
