[quote user="daveklepper"] From what I understand, Amtrak does make payments to support school districts and essential services along the NEC in lieu of real-estate taxes.   Not the same thing, not as much, but something in any case. [/quote] There is no mention in any of Amtrak's financial statements, reports, etc. that it makes payments to support school districts and essential services along the NEC in lieu of property taxes. Amtrak may pay for certain government provided services, i.e. water, electricity, sanitation, etc., but these are covered by rates and not property taxes. For example, in NYC it contracts with a private sanitation service to pick-up its Penn Station trash. If you have any information to the contrary, I would like to see the numbers.   Having a taxpayer supported entity that loses more than $1 billion per year transfer money to another taxpayer entity does not make sense.
