Is the CIA part of the US goverment? What about the Contras in Honduras? No lets not go there. The legal issue here is that does Amtrak operate "Under color of the law" and are they a "State Actor"? You can deny service to anyone in your shop, But if a Amtrak Conductor were to deny someone boarding the train because he was a Arab or Black or Hispanic then Amtrak "could" be sued as a state actor as well as the conductor himself as a state actor.
