We are planning on traveling on the SWC this summer from Chicago to the Grand Canyon. We already have tickets purchased. Last summer we had a couple weeks of uncertainty while we waited to see if funding would be in place for our trip to New Orleans in July. Does anyone know if funding for the long distance trains is in place for this July? I heard the long distance trains are in "Question" for funding? YIKES!

I believe Amtrak has been given enough funding to make it at least through September 2003, so your trip should be a go!

I'm doing the same trip May 4.

When you said summer, what part of summer were you referring to?
