Amtrak except in the northeast, where they own the rails, are run on freight railroads. BNSF makes $$ on freight, so Amtrak might get delayed.

That said, Amtrak future is rosy. Air travel is a pain and people are looking at trains again. It might not be a quick as air, but us can meet people.

I would love to see Amtrak privatived. I think you might soon.

TSA will make trains as miserable as planes as soon as they possibly can.

Bet on it. Citizens cannot be allowed to freely travel about without suspicion.

If it was so rosy, wouldn’t the private railways be looking into it? I think the hassle and legal liabilities will keep them from hauling freight that can sue.
