Amtrak carries about 60,000 passengers a day. Amtrak has 20,183 employees most of which have cars that have at least 4 open seats. We could get rid of the national long distance rail system and start a national AmUber car service that shuttles people anywhere they need to go using all those Amtrak Employees.
FY16 Amtrak had 20,183 full-time or full-time equivalent employees. Of this number 2,766 or 13.7 percent were involved in support functions, i.e. Office of the President,

A couple of weeks ago I watched an interview with Condoleezza Rice. She opined that most federal departments could cut 10 percent of the workforce and continue to function without any impairment. I suspect Amtrak could do the same.

This shouldn't be a problem because passengers don't equate to people. If you take 4 Amtrak trips a year you are counted as 4 passengers but in reality you are still only one person.
I'm not an Amtrak employee but if i was I would sign up for the Sunset Route in the winter and the Empire Builder in the summer. That would work out to be a nice gig.
