if it the “busiest rail line” why would it need a $16 billion Governments subsidy?

Why are user fees not paying the tab?

Biden actually claimed that Amtrak gave him the key to all the locomotives,
and that he rides in the cab and helps the engineer drive the train.

This is only when Biden isn't zooming down the interstate driving an 18 wheeler

It doesn't, but the rest of Amtrak does, so the profits from the Boston-DC corridor fund Amtrak as a whole, and the "investment" makes up the difference plus some more $$$ for Friends of Joe/Dems.

I just recently returned from a weekend New York visit. Amtrak from Union Station in DC to Penn Station round trip was over $300. It’s cheaper to fly! Much cheaper to take the bus.
