Railfan & Railroad has devoted plenty of feature coverage and editorial/opinion columns to the Amtrak anniversary in its May issue.

Maybe it could be used as an obituary piece if things keep going in the same direction.

Good question. I ran it past Editor Jim Wrinn. His response:

Our story about Amtrak’s 40 years will appear in our July issue to give it the space it deserves. The May issue is set aside annually for tourist railroads and museums and June is about short lines and regional railroads.
