 I don't know if it's relevant but Virginia Railway Express says that they pay CSX approximately $17 per mile per train.

I just wondered the same thing.  Clicked on the thread on Trains e-mail web page, nothing there and nothing here either.  I was interested to find out the answer. 

When my Mom worked for Frisco, she was a keypunch operator working on waybills and per diem. She'd talk  about how much Frisco has to pay the other RR's for using their cars, so I wondered what Amtrak has to pay.  Hope someone can find this.
