<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"] <P>I'm not too sure about municipally-owned stations on Amtrak, but it has become a fairly common practice in suburban operations around the country, especially with newer agencies and line extensions. [/quote]</P> <P>Amtrak owns 46 of the approximately 525 stations that it serves. It maintains 181 stations, including the 46 that it owns. The largest stations owned by Amtrak, through a structured subsidiary, are New York's Penn Station, Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, and Chicago's Union Station. </P> <P>Most of the stations are owned by a local government or an authority created by a local government. For example, Union Station in Dallas is owned by the city. Amtrak rents a small portion of it. The station in Fort Worth, which is located in an intermodal transit complex, is also owned by the city. Amtrak shares the station with Greyhound, the Trinity Railway Express, and the T, which is Fort Worth's local transit agency.</P>
