I am confused too.  Last I was at KC (6 months ago), there was a room on main
floor (2nd level) designated as being the future site of Amtrak --- surely, it
wouldn't take $5Million to convert one, maybe 20x20 room!

Are they building new passenger loading area also?

Anyone who has chance to visit KC should make it a point to visit Union Station.
Restoration is wonderful, and there is a "restoration museum" with exhibits of
what it was before decay, after decay, and relics of what they found during
restoration.
