In this situation, AMTRAK is a contractor to the States of Washington and Oregon. The States own the locomotives, rail cars and a portion of the rail right of way, not AMTRAK.

HUH??

Amtrak is the result of the Federal Government taking over a Private Rail company that was bankrupt and disbanding. Look it up!

Amen! I have been saying that for years. Hoping the Trump administration will make it happen.
