Amtrak, is the brand name of the
intercity passenger train system created on May 1, 1971 in the United States.
Officially known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, the name
"Amtrak" is a portmanteau of the words "American" and "track."
Nominally, Amtrak is an independent for-profit corporation, but all of
its preferred stock is owned by the federal government. The members of
Amtrak's board of directors are appointed by the President of the United States,
and are subject to confirmation by the United States Senate. Some common stock
is held by the private railroads that transferred their passenger service to
Amtrak in 1971. Though Amtrak stock does not pay dividends and is not routinely
traded, a small number of private investors have purchased Amtrak stock from its
original owners.
Amtrak employs over 19,000 people. The
nationwide network of 22,000 miles of routes serves 500 communities in 46 of the
United States, with some of the routes serving communities in Canada. In fiscal
year 2004, Amtrak routes served over 25 million passengers, a company
record.
Amtrak Routes and
Services As a general rule, even-numbered routes run north
and east while odd numbered routes run south and west. However, some routes,
such as the Pacific Surfliners, use the exact opposite numbering system, which
they inherited from the previous operators of similar routes, such as the Santa
Fe Railroad. Amtrak gives each of its train routes a name. These names often
reflect the rich and complex history of the route itself, or of the area
traversed by the route.
Most popular routes include those on the
Northeast Corridor (Acela Express, Metroliner, and Regional services)
that serve Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston.
On
the west coast, San Joaquins (Sacramento/Oakland - Bakersfield,
California), Pacific Surfliner (San Luis Obispo - San Diego, California, via Los
Angeles), and the Capitol Corridor (Auburn, California - Sacramento - San Jose
via Oakland) provide service more than once daily.
Likewise, the
Keystone Service, operating between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia (and to New York City), the Hiawatha, with service between Chicago
and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Empire Service between New York City and Albany, New
York, the Downeaster between Boston and Portland, Maine, and the Amtrak Cascades
(Vancouver, British Columbia - Eugene, Oregon via Portland, Oregon and Seattle)
operate more than once daily.
Freight Services Amtrak Express
provides small package and less-than-truckload shipping services between more
than 100 cities. Amtrak Express also offers station-to-station shipment of human
remains to many express cities. At smaller stations, funeral directors must load
and unload the shipment onto and off the train. Amtrak also hauled mail for the
United States Postal Service as well as time sensitive freight shipments, but
discontinued these services in October of 2004.
