Dan Lipinski: “We need to get that done next year, and welcome this opportunity to learn more about what has been done and what is…”

Amtrak must heed and not ignore Congress' desire that it work well with others.

I have always been a strong advocate for Amtrak, because it provides an important public service: national passenger rail service.

Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.

I really have some deep misgivings about my own decision to pull that amendment.
