What are the station options if Amtrak expansion passes?
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW)  The president of Occidental Management Inc., the current owner of Wichitas historic Union Station, says theyve been planning for a return for several years. We did talk to some Amtrak officials about, okay tell us about your programming needs, said Chad Stafford, Occidental Management Incs president. How much space does that require for passenger loading and baggage loading?  Stafford says there are two potential station options near Douglas St. The first option, build on the new portion as part of the old Union Station. Or the second option, build a new station to the south of where the old station is. We did a full building design for them that matches the materials and things weve put into Union Station when we renovated it, said Stafford. Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple, says we need to temper our expectation of looking at this return of Amtrak as any guarantee, yet. Whipple added, Ive been in elected office long enough to know that really you dont count your eggs before they hatch, right?  But, he does say he feels the excitement building for a potential return, I think that were closer than weve been in a very long time in securing Amtrak and reestablishing those routes.
