To celebrate the resumption of regularly scheduled rail passenger service in Missouri, Amtrak is offering a special half-price companion fare. Between May 30 and June 30, when one person travels for full fare between any two points within the State of Missouri, a companion rides for half price.

Companion fares are valid within the State of Missouri on the Missouri Mules and the Ann Rutledge between St. Louis and Kansas City Mo., the Texas Eagle between St. Louis and Poplar Bluff, Mo., and the Southwest Chief between La Plata, and Kansas City, Mo.

Regularly scheduled Amtrak service between St. Louis and Kansas City was disrupted because of flood conditions for nearly two weeks from May 7 to May 20.

For more information about this special offer and other Amtrak travel, including schedules, fares, and reservations, visit Amtrak's Web site at www.amtrak.com or call 1-800-USA-Rail. Amtrak operates a 22,000-mile intercity passenger rail system, serving more than 500 communities in 45 states.
