And if you get lonely waiting for the train, you can always chat with La Plata Bob. Robert Bailey has been with Amtrak since 1995 and not only runs the La Plata depot single-handedly, but also has turned it into a railroad museum of sorts, decorating the walls of the 1945 structure with pictures and memorabilia of Amtrak and the Santa Fe Railway. If trains are not the transportation method of your choice, there are other options available for Truman students. At the Kirksville Regional Airport, Trans World Express offers non-stop service to St. Louis. And you can always take the old-fashioned approach and drive home.
Many students get home by carpooling with others who live in their same area.
