I'm still trying to figure out where in the Constitution it gives congress the power to GIVE money to Amtrak and like projects...
Isn't their doing so illegal?

Like nearly everything else, it falls under the “Interstate Commerce” clause.

Congress is explicitly granted the ability to construct roads, specifically postal roads, but there certainly is nothing forbidding other road projects. I’d take much greater issue with the funding of La Raza, Planned Parenthood, etc.
