Under pressure from local officials, Amtraqk has backed away from its plan to drop Davis, Calif., as a station stop for the Los Angeles-Seattle Coast Starlight.

In a meeting with city officials this morning, Amtrak said it would indefinitely delay a decision on whether to drop Davis from the train's schedule. The city would continule to be served by Capitol Corridor trains and the long-distance California Zephyr. The Coast Starlight was to make its last Davis stop on Setember 30. That decision was announced just last week.

Amtrak said it would work with officials from the city and the University of California, Davis, to explore ways to increase ridership on the train.
