Amtrak is denying a claim from a railroad advocacy group that the government has considered substituting buses for trains on some long-distance routes, including the Empire Builder that serves La Crosse.
Spokesman Marc Magliari with Amtrak says the rail corporation did not have plans to cancel passenger train service on the Empire Builder route west of Minneapolis, and use buses to transport riders instead.
