    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 300 trains per day, serving 510
    stations in 46 States, over a system of 21,800 route miles. Of this
    route system, Amtrak owns about 535 route 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 18,600 and provides all reservation, station, and on-board
    service staffs, as well as train and engine operating crews. Outside the
    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 2006, Amtrak transported over 24 million people with
    66,000 passengers traveling on Amtrak per day. Also, Amtrak runs
    commuter trains under contract with several commuter agencies.
        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. In the face of budget
    constraints, new service will only be added if a State agrees to cover
    any operating losses.
