In this Dec. 16, 2014 photo Benny Funderburk waits to board the Amtrak train bound for Chicago out of Union Station in downtown Indianapolis.

Riders who enjoy rail travel or rely on the train because they don’t drive say they don’t want to see the service end. But much will depend on whether the state can find a way to pay for it that doesn’t break the bank. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)
