Editing Emporia, Kansas (section)

===Train===
The former [[Southern Transcon]] main line of [[BNSF Railway]] (ex-[[Santa Fe Railroad|Santa Fe]]) passes east-west through Emporia. A [[rail yard|yard]] is located in Emporia.

The city was served by Santa Fe passenger trains until the creation of [[Amtrak]] in 1971. The daily ''[[Southwest Chief]]'' served the city from 1971–1997. Service to [[Emporia station]] was eliminated in 1997, two years before a fire destroyed the 1884-built station. In 2014, local efforts were started to bring back the station. {{As of|2018|post=,}} the future of revitalized service and a new station is still uncertain.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Redeker |first1=Mary Ann |title=Future uncertain for Amtrak in Emporia |url=http://www.emporiagazette.com/latest_news_and_features/article_fb86742a-7345-5da2-a62d-f1aeecc0cf01.html |access-date=3 August 2018 |work=The Emporia Gazette |date=12 May 2017}}</ref>
