[quote user="John WR"] [quote user="Sam1"] am not sure where you got the $840 million for state supported funding.[/quote] Sam, The $840 million annual payment to Amtrak by states for state subsidized routes comes from Table 1 of the Brookings Institution report to which you referred.  Just now I double checked to be sure the number I used is accurate.  Actually it is something over $841 million.   I did not look at the Amtrak reports as you have.  I suspect the different reports refer to different expenses.   John [/quote] Table 1 shows the state capital payments for the five years ended FY11.  Divided by five $841 million is $168.2 million per year on average.  These payments can vary significantly.  Best to look at Amtrak's financials for the latest numbers.
