Amtrak's future is cloudy indeed. The freight railroads tried for decades to run passenger trains profitably. Look what the end result is! Passenger rail in the USA will NEVER work unless the government finally realizes it cannot be self-supporting. We are the only industrialized nation on the planet with a joke of a passenger rail "system". The current administration in Washington has no clue about passenger rail either, their viewpoint is to privatize it. That would be like committing corporate suicide. If our government finally figures out they need to subsidize all forms of people transport, then Amtrak has a future. Until that day arrives, we can forget about Amtrak ever being a success.
