As appealing as the American highway system is to some, I must tell you right 
up to the day it was discontinued in 1979 the Amtrak "Lone Star" (former 
Santa Fe Texas Chief) was packing the passengers in.  The Conductor and Chair 
Car 
attendant worked between every stop finding scarce seats for passengers 
boarding at Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, Wichita, etc. thru the night for 
folks 
bound for Oklahoma City, Norman, Gainesville, Ft. Worth and on to Houston.  
That 
train was very popular, even under Amtrak to the very end and should have 
never been discontinued.  It along with the North Coast Hiawatha, National 
Limited, and Floridian were discontinued during the Carter Administration.
