"Amtrak, officially called the The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, is a corporation that was chartered by the U.S. government in 1970 (operation began May 1, 1971). The federal government owns the majority of the stock (source), but despite this, Amtrak is classified as an independent agency."
"Other things to know: Amtrak has a Board of Directors that is appointed by the President of the United States, as well as a CEO and President. Additionally, Amtrak gets funding from multiple states and the federal government."
"Of the more than 22,000 miles on which it operates, Amtrak owns approximately 620 miles in the Northeast and Michigan. Some of the remaining miles are owned by states or regional transportation authorities, but the vast majority are owned by freight railroads."

We are currently conducting site maintenance.
The Amtrak.com reservation system is temporarily unavailable while we perform routine site maintenance.
Please try again later.
Oh by coast I really mean coast. The line between DC and Boston. Not to western NY. That is about the only track they own.
Don't use any discount filters (senior\military\organization\disabled)- you'll only be presented full fares w\ the slight discount.
Northeast \ Mid-Atlantic yielded best results.
One example: NYC - Philly $6\7 each way while local NJTransit \ Septa= $26, or $12.15 senior\disabled. Even just instate local Newark-Trenton = $12.50 \ $5.70 senior \disabled.

People need to stop throwing out derailment numbers like they're all the same thing. 3 bad track switches resulting in a wheel popping off the track counts as 3. Several chemical cars upside down and on fire counts as 1. The numbers by themselves don't mean anything. Hyper sensationalism by the news exists, but I think that trying to downplay some major safety issues by saying that they have always been this bad is probably not a great idea.
It's the 21st century and you can't take a train across the USA without being a magician (and rich AF)
Yeah, the US could certainly do better, but we're not a huge embarrassing outlier compared to every other first world country like we are with imprisonment, gun deaths, maternal mortality rates, executions, etc etc.
