Nebraska… NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE
| The Bush Administration has targeted this country’s long-distance trains. Amtrak president David Gunn says if Amtrak doesn’t receive full funding, all Amtrak trains will stop running.
The California Zephyr is a popular route providing Nebraskans travel connections to the East, Rocky Mountain states and the West Coast. Tourism, the elderly, the disabled, the young, college students, and those who simply choose to travel by train benefit from intercity passenger train service.
Please write your elected officials and remind them how important Amtrak service is to you. Tell you lawmakers to save this valuable travel alternative |

Did you know that Congress will give $30 billion this year to fund highways, about the same amount of money Amtrak has received in its entire 30-year history?
