The Board is appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and Amtrak is operated as a for-profit company, rather than a public authority.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="color:#003300;font-size:10pt;">This is how Amtrak defines itself in Amtrak National Facts. Lots of opportunity for hair splitting lawyers to have a field day! Not to mention pulling in substantial fees whilst splitting the hairs!</span></p> <p><span style="color:#003300;font-size:10pt;">Amtrak is a capital corporation but it isn't! And it is a public agency but it isn't! Wow, no reason to be confused! It appears to be as clear as mud!</span></p>
