Amtrak actually owns almost nothing---they have sold all of it off and lease it back. A million a day towards interest on loans before the first wheel turns. <br /> <br />Train Equipment/Infrastructure <br /> <br />Passenger Cars: Amtrak operates 2,141 railroad cars including 168 sleeper cars, 760 coach cars, 126 first class/business class cars, 66 dormitory/crew cars, 225 lounge/café/dinette cars, and 92 dining cars. Baggage cars make up the remainder of the fleet. <br />Locomotives: Amtrak operates 425 locomotives, 351 diesel and 74 electric. <br />19 Acela Express trainsets currently provide high-speed rail service along the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston.
