The Westerner

Sometime in the mid 1960s, passenger rail ended for stops serviced by the Westerner, and gone were the days of riding the streamliner west to El Paso or east to Fort Worth. Cars and airplanes replaced passenger trains as speed and convenience took hold.

For passenger rail to thrive in a city. I think a community would need a hotel with a grand lobby, a restaurant and cafes, and theaters. It would need clothing shops, and the depot must offer amenities. The downtown would need a library, a museum and live sports too, preferably baseball.
