The 1961 Doyle Report proposed that the private railroads pool their services into a single body.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Similar proposals were made in 1965 and 1968 but failed to attract support. The federal government passed the <a href="/wiki/High_Speed_Ground_Transportation_Act_of_1965" class="mw-redirect" title="High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965">High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965</a> to fund pilot programs in the <a href="/wiki/Northeast_Corridor" title="Northeast Corridor">Northeast Corridor</a>, but this did nothing to address passenger deficits. In late 1969, multiple proposals emerged in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">United States Congress</a>, including equipment subsidies, route subsidies, and, lastly, a "quasi-public corporation" to take over the operation of intercity passenger trains. Matters were brought to a head on June 21, 1970, when the <a href="/wiki/Penn_Central_Transportation_Company" title="Penn Central Transportation Company">Penn Central</a>, the largest railroad in the <a href="/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeastern United States</a> and teetering on bankruptcy, filed to discontinue 34 of its passenger trains.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> In October 1970, Congress passed, and President <a href="/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> signed into law (against the objections of most of his advisors),<a href="#cite_note-enoamtrak50-1-26">[26]</a> the Rail Passenger Service Act.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Proponents of the bill, led by the <a href="/wiki/National_Association_of_Railroad_Passengers" class="mw-redirect" title="National Association of Railroad Passengers">National Association of Railroad Passengers</a> (NARP), sought government funding to ensure the continuation of passenger trains. They conceived the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (NRPC), a <a href="/wiki/Quasi-corporation" title="Quasi-corporation">quasi-public corporation</a> that would be managed as a <a href="/wiki/For-profit_corporation" title="For-profit corporation">for-profit organization</a>, but which would receive taxpayer funding and assume operation of intercity passenger trains<a href="#cite_note-FY18_profile-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> – while many involved in drafting the bill did not believe the NRPC would actually be profitable, this was necessary in order for the White House and more conservative members of Congress to support the bill.<a href="#cite_note-enoamtrak50-1-26">[26]</a> There were several key provisions:<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> <ul><li>Any railroad operating intercity passenger service could contract with the NRPC, thereby joining the national system.</li> <li>The United States federal government, through the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Transportation" title="United States Secretary of Transportation">Secretary of Transportation</a>, would own all of the NRPC's <a href="/wiki/Issued_shares" title="Issued shares">issued</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shares_outstanding" title="Shares outstanding">outstanding</a> <a href="/wiki/Preferred_stock" title="Preferred stock">preferred stock</a>.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a></li> <li>Participating railroads bought into the NRPC using a formula based on their recent intercity passenger losses.

The Nixon administration and many Washington insiders viewed the NRPC as a politically expedient way for the President and Congress to give passenger trains a "last hurrah" as demanded by the public. They expected the NRPC to quietly disappear as public interest waned.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> After <a href="/wiki/Fortune_(magazine)" title="Fortune (magazine)">Fortune</a> magazine exposed the manufactured mismanagement in 1974, <a href="/wiki/Louis_W._Menk" title="Louis W.

On November 24 Volpe presented his initial draft consisting of 27 routes to Nixon, which he believed would make a $24 million profit by 1975. The <a href="/wiki/Office_of_Management_and_Budget" title="Office of Management and Budget">Office of Management and Budget</a>, however, believed Volpe and the DOT's analysis was far too optimistic, with director <a href="/wiki/George_Shultz" title="George Shultz">George Shultz</a> arguing to cut the number of routes by around half. Nixon agreed with Shultz, and the public draft presented by Volpe on November 30 consisted of only 16 routes.<a href="#cite_note-enoamtrak50-2-37">[37]</a> The initial reaction to this heavily-cut-back proposed system from the public, the press, and congressmen was strongly negative. It made front-page headlines across the country and it was quickly leaked that the DOT had wanted a far larger system than the White House would approve of. The ICC produced its own report on December 29, criticising the proposed draft and arguing for the inclusion of 15 additional routes, giving further ammunition to the congressmen who wanted an expanded system. Further wrangling between the DOT and the White House produced the final list of routes on January 28, 1971, adding 5 additional routes to the November 30th draft.<a href="#cite_note-enoamtrak50-2-37">[37]</a> These required routes only had their endpoints specified; the selection of the actual routes to be taken between the endpoints was left to the NRPC, which had just three months to decide them before it was due to start service. Consultants from <a href="/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company" title="McKinsey & Company">McKinsey & Company</a> were hired to perform this task, and their results were publicly announced on March 22.<a href="#cite_note-enoamtrak50-3-38">[38]</a> At the same time, the NRPC had hired <a href="/wiki/Lippincott_(brand_consultancy)" title="Lippincott (brand consultancy)">Lippincott & Margulies</a> to create a brand for it and replace its original working <a href="/wiki/Brand_name" class="mw-redirect" title="Brand name">brand name</a> of Railpax.

Chicago is a prime example; on the day prior to Amtrak's inception, intercity passenger trains used four different Chicago terminals: <a href="/wiki/LaSalle_Street_Station" title="LaSalle Street Station">LaSalle</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dearborn_Station" title="Dearborn Station">Dearborn</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ogilvie_Transportation_Center" title="Ogilvie Transportation Center">North Western Station</a>, <a href="/wiki/Central_Station_(Chicago_terminal)" title="Central Station (Chicago terminal)">Central</a>, and Union. The trains at LaSalle remained there, as their operator <a href="/wiki/Chicago,_Rock_Island_and_Pacific_Railroad" title="Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad">Rock Island</a> could not afford to opt into Amtrak. Of all the trains serving Dearborn Station, Amtrak retained only a pair of Santa Fe trains, which relocated to <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Union_Station" title="Chicago Union Station">Union Station</a> beginning with the first Amtrak departures on May 1, 1971. Dearborn Station closed after the last pre-Amtrak trains on the Santa Fe arrived in Chicago on May 2.

Following the bankruptcy of several northeastern railroads in the early 1970s, including Penn Central, which owned and operated the Northeast Corridor (NEC), Congress passed the <a href="/wiki/Railroad_Revitalization_and_Regulatory_Reform_Act" title="Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act">Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act</a> of 1976.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> A large part of the legislation was directed to the creation of <a href="/wiki/Conrail" title="Conrail">Conrail</a>, but the law also enabled the transfer of the portions of the NEC not already owned by state authorities to Amtrak. Amtrak acquired the majority of the NEC on April 1, 1976.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> (The portion in Massachusetts is owned by the Commonwealth and managed by Amtrak.

While the NEC ridership and revenues were higher than any other segment of the system, the cost of operating and maintaining the corridor proved to be overwhelming. As a result, Amtrak's federal subsidy was increased dramatically. In subsequent years, other short route segments not needed for freight operations were transferred to Amtrak.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In its first decade, Amtrak fell far short of financial independence, which continues today, but it did find modest success rebuilding trade. Outside factors discouraged competing transport, such as fuel shortages which increased costs of automobile and airline travel, and strikes which disrupted airline operations.

Elsewhere in the country, demand for passenger rail service resulted in the creation of five new state-supported routes in California, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon and Pennsylvania, for a total of 15 state-supported routes. Amtrak added two trains in 1983, the <a href="/wiki/California_Zephyr" title="California Zephyr">California Zephyr</a> between <a href="/wiki/Oakland,_California" title="Oakland, California">Oakland</a> and Chicago via Denver<a href="#cite_note-:2-66">[66]</a> and revived the <a href="/wiki/Auto_Train" title="Auto Train">Auto Train</a>, a unique service that carries both passengers and their vehicles.

Under Downs, Congress included a provision in the <a href="/wiki/Taxpayer_Relief_Act_of_1997" title="Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997">Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997</a> that resulted in Amtrak receiving a $2.3 billion tax refund that resolved their cash crisis.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> However, Congress also instituted a "glide path" to financial self-sufficiency, excluding railroad retirement tax act payments.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> <a href="/wiki/George_Warrington" title="George Warrington">George Warrington</a> became the sixth president in 1998, with a mandate to make Amtrak financially self-sufficient.

The Gateway Program includes the Hudson Tunnel Project, to build a new tunnel under the Hudson River and rehabilitate the existing century-old tunnel, and the Portal North Bridge, to replace a century-old moveable bridge with a modern structure that is less prone to failure. Later projects of the Gateway Program, including the expansion of track and platforms at Penn Station New York, construction of the Bergen Loop and other improvements will roughly double capacity for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains in the busiest, most complex section of the Northeast Corridor.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> In June 2017, it was announced that former <a href="/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines" title="Delta Air Lines">Delta</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Airlines" title="Northwest Airlines">Northwest Airlines</a> CEO <a href="/wiki/Richard_H._Anderson_(businessman)" title="Richard H.

Amtrak services fall into three groups: short-haul service on the Northeast Corridor, state-supported short-haul service outside the Northeast Corridor, and medium- and long-haul service known within Amtrak as the National Network. Amtrak receives federal funding for the vast majority of its operations including the central spine of the Northeast Corridor as well as for its National Network routes. In addition to the federally funded routes, Amtrak partners with transportation agencies in 18 states to operate other short and medium-haul routes outside of the Northeast Corridor, some of which connect to it or are extensions from it. In addition to its inter-city services, Amtrak also operates commuter services under contract for three public agencies: the <a href="/wiki/MARC_Train" title="MARC Train">MARC</a> <a href="/wiki/Penn_Line" title="Penn Line">Penn Line</a> in Maryland, <a href="/wiki/Shore_Line_East" title="Shore Line East">Shore Line East</a> in Connecticut,<a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Metrolink_(California)" title="Metrolink (California)">Metrolink</a> in Southern California.

A plane is considered on-time if it arrives within 15 minutes of the schedule.

However, the company's board requested $1.8 billion through fiscal 2006, the majority of which (about $1.3 billion) would be used to bring infrastructure, rolling stock, and motive power back to a state of good repair. In Congressional testimony, the DOT Inspector General confirmed that Amtrak would need at least $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion in fiscal 2006 and $2 billion in fiscal 2007 just to maintain the status quo. In 2006, Amtrak received just under $1.4 billion, with the condition that Amtrak would reduce (but not eliminate) food and sleeper service losses.
