A proposed federal transportation budget could eliminate Amtrak service between St. Louis and Kansas City.

Police say an eastern Missouri man has died after he was struck by an Amtrak train.

Police say the 20-year-old man was walking along railroad tracks in Pacific Wednesday night when he was hit by the train. He was walking home from a restaurant to his home about three blocks away when he was hit.

About 50 people were on the Amtrak train headed from Kansas City to St. Louis. No one aboard the train was hurt.

The man's name hasn't been released.
