FORT MADISON - About 40 residents showed up at the Amtrak depot in Fort Madison Friday evening for a rally to create awareness for the federal government budgeting process on passenger rail service throughout the country. Volunteers also manned voter registration booths. There is a growing concern the current Congress will reduce the budget for the Amtrak service. The Fort Madison rally was the only rally in the state on Friday.
