<p>Amtrak's payment to the freight railroads to host its trains declined from $136.5 million in 2010 to $110 million in 2012.  Or from approximately 5.06 cents per train mile to 4.04 cents per train mile! I have not pulled the 2013 numbers. Some of the reduction may have been due to withheld performance incentives.</p> <p>Negotiating with the federal government can be a tough nut to crack. If the freight carrier does not like the terms of the agreement, i.e. Amtrak will not pay the full cost of hosting its trains, etc., it cannot just tell Amtrak to shove it.  </p>
