Amtrtak does pay the railroads to use their tracks on their right of way, however, at a bargain rate. Keep in mind that the government subsidized the railroads to build most of the track in the first place with large land grants, either federal, state, and local. <br /> <br />As far as I am concerned, Amtrak should build its own high speed rail tracks, and get off the freight tracks. A lot of right of way has been abandoned by the railroads, surely Amtrak should be able to purchase these abanonded right of ways for a dime on the dollar. The sooner Amtrak gets off the freight tracks, the more express freight they will be able to move. If Amtrak cannot make a profit with passengers, maybe Amtrak can make a profit moving express freight.....
