    The National Railroad Passenger Corporation was established by Congress
    to meet the Nation's intercity passenger transportation needs.

    The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was created by the
    Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, as amended (49 U.S.C. 241), and was
    incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia to provide a
    balanced national transportation system by developing, operating, and
    improving U.S. intercity rail passenger service.
        Amtrak operates approximately 275 trains per day, serving over 520
    stations in 46 States, over a system of nearly 21,800 route miles. Of
    this route system, Amtrak owns about 525 track miles in the Northeast
    Corridor, and several other small track segments elsewhere in the
    country.
        Amtrak owns or leases its stations and owns its own repair and
    maintenance facilities. The Corporation employs a total workforce of
    approximately 19,600 and provides all reservation, station, and on-board
    service staffs, as well as train and engine operating crews. Outside the

    [[Page 476]]

    Northeast Corridor, Amtrak contracts with privately or publicly owned
    railroads for the right to operate over their track. Under contract,
    these railroads are responsible for the condition of the roadbed and for
    coordinating the flow of traffic.
        In fiscal year 2004, Amtrak transported 25 million people with
    68,000 passengers traveling on Amtrak per day. In addition, under
    contracts with several transit agencies, Amtrak carried over 27 million
    commuters.
        Although Amtrak's basic route system was originally designated by
    the Secretary of Transportation in 1971, modifications have been made to
    the Amtrak system and to individual routes that have resulted in more
    efficient and cost-effective operations. Currently, in the face of
    ongoing budget constraints, new service will only be added if a State
    agrees to share any operating losses.
