Hello there!

I've been wondering, are you a government agency or a private company? And why are you the only long-distance passenger rail in the country?

I am a government owned corporation, so kinda both, we have all the problems of an underfunded public service and all the legal weaknesses of a private company. Basically Amtrak gets screwed either way. The other main public corporation in the US is the USPS
