Sadly, by this time Kansas City Union Station hosted far more freight trains than passenger. The only Amtrak trains calling here were the Texas Chief (Chicago-Houston), soon to become the Lone Star, the Southwest Limited (Chicago-Los Angeles) and the National Limited (New York-Kansas City). In 1985 Amtrak will move all passenger operations to a small facility by the Main Street bridge. Today only the Southwest Chief remains unchanged, with the National Limited reduced to the Missouri River Runner between Kansas City and St. Louis.
