Lubbock, Texas

====Rail service====
Lubbock currently does not provide [[intercity rail]] service, although various proposals have been presented over the years to remedy this. One, the ''[[Caprock Chief]]'', would have seen daily service as part of a [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]], Texas—[[Denver]], Colorado service, but it failed to gain interest.<ref>{{cite news |title=Lubbock officials backing plans for Amtrak rail service |url=http://www.amarillo.com/stories/080201/tex_amtrakrail.shtml |date=August 2, 2001 |work=[[Amarillo Globe-News]] |access-date=2008-05-14 |first=Chris |last=Van Wagenen |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604000244/http://amarillo.com/stories/080201/tex_amtrakrail.shtml |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all}}</ref> Lubbock is served by the BNSF Railway company, Plainsman Switching Company (PSC), and [[West Texas and Lubbock Railway|West Texas & Lubbock Railway]] (WTLC).
