The White House announced early Thursday that a tentative railway labor agreement had been reached, averting a potentially devastating strike.
The tentative agreement will go to union members for a vote after a post-ratification cooling off period of several weeks.
The Southwest Chief has one train each way through Hutchinson. About 4,000 passengers use the Hutchinson station each year.
