Amtak runs through Hermann between Kansas City and St. Louis four times a day and it is a great way to travel. For about $20 you can relax and watch the scenery go by as the locomotive rolls on to Hermann. It will drop you off right down town near riverfront. From there you can walk to just about anywhere in Hermann, including your favorite cottage (about 10 blocks).

In the future things will be better, thanks to all that stimulus money. Missouri has approved 11 upgrades for the railways including a number between K.C and STL.  Check out the following link for more info (Transportation Commission approves rail projects).

Happy rails to you!...Get it, happy rails!
