Amtrak is already doing regional rail all over the country. The California corridors and Caltrain are all Amtrak operated. The Cascades is Amtrak operated. The Midwest corridor services are Amtrak operated. The Downeaster is Amtrak operated. And of course the NEC......States have little or no experience with actual railroad operations, outside of dedicated commuter lines. The host railroads know that. The host railroads trust Amtrak's expertise in running a railroad. That's why these state funded programs contract to Amtrak.As California is now planning expansions in new areas, UP and BNSF are telling the state "Submit your proposal through Amtrak." Amtrak is a respected mediator between the states and the Class Is.
