The Bakersfield Californian, 9/14/17:
Amtrak reducing service from Bakersfield, shifting a train north in search of business travelers
Amtrak service from Bakersfield is changing.
In January, Bakersfield will lose one of its seven train connections as the agency that oversees the system implements changes designed to reverse a slide in ridership.
Fresno will benefit from Bakersfield’s loss.
It will gain a train service that will connect business travelers to Sacramento by 8 a.m. — in time to hold business meetings and lobby legislators in the state capital.
