==Overview==
[[Amtrak]] is the government-run company which owns and operates nearly all of the passenger railroad trains within the [[United States]].

Although there has been some recent revival of interest in using the train system, due in part to rising fuel costs and the greater [[sustainability (US)|sustainability]] of rail transport, the system remains woefully inadequate for dependable transportation in most areas of the country.

==Notes==
A friend of ours had made reservations to travel by train from mid-state [[New York]] to [[Boston, MA]] for a gathering, and we had made a set of fairly elaborate plans in order to be able to meet her at the train station -- but then suddenly Amtrak rescheduled the arrival for 3.5 hours later, with no notice; she only found out when she was double-checking the reservation online. This is unacceptable for a modern transportation system. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 09:02, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
