Passenger rail will always be the slowest way to travel until the rail line owns it’s own routes. Amtrack leases time from freight lines and receives last priority on these tracks.

Freight has always been the big money maker in rail. Amtrak needs to be subcontracted to the freight roads. Cheaper and more efficient.
