Get spring savings on Amtrak

A 20 percent discount is available on the Missouri River Runner for travel through the end of the month with at least a one-day advance reservation. Plus, passengers can save 50 percent on a companion fare by planning ahead this month. Just purchase one full fare and get the second for half price when you book a trip between March 1 and March 31 for travel between May 1 and May 31.

Discounts are available on Amtrak's Missouri River Runner route between Kansas City and St. Louis, and the eight communities in between: Kirkwood, Washington, Hermann, Jefferson City, Sedalia, Warrensburg, Lee's

Summit and Independence.
