PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Colorado is joining the effort to preserve the current route of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief.

On Wednesday, Gov. John Hickenlooper is set to sign a bill creating a commission to work with officials in Kansas and New Mexico to continue the existing service. It will also push for a new stop in Pueblo.

The Southwest Chief travels between Chicago and Los Angeles, but part of the current route is in jeopardy because the Burlington Northern Santa Fe track it uses need to be upgraded.

BNSF has pledged $2 million for the work, Amtrak has pledged $4 million and the Kansas Department of Transportation has committed $3 million. The money from the coalition would be provided to match possible federal Transportation Infrastructure Generating Economic Recovery grants.
