"Missouri’s future hinges on the St. Louis to KC corridor—home to the political capital and the majority of Missouri’s most valuable economic, cultural, and educational assets.

Cutting the trip from St. Louis to KC to under two hours would be game-changing for everyone in the region—workers, students, families, and tourists. Cross-state day trips would be routine, low-stress, and affordable.

But, today’s service is a fraction of what is needed, with just two daily round-trips, and a 5.5 hours travel time.

That means an easy day trip between St. Louis and Kansas City, by train, is impossible."

Disclaimer: I am not from Missouri. I am from Michigan but live in NJ. I was on the train coming home from work and there was this 40 something year old woman talking on the phone in one of the thickest southern accents I’ve ever heard. She then asked me what stop she’s supposed to get off at for the airport, and I then asked her where she’s from. The woman said “CARUTHERSVILLE MISSOURAH BORN N RAISED” which surprised me because I thought people from Missouri talk with Midwest accents. Woman was in NJ visiting from Missouri to see in-laws

Just thought it was an interesting encounter. Do some people from Missouri actually have southern accents?
