Dan Lipinski: “I believe that Congress needs to act quickly to prevent furloughs and avoid long-distance service cuts.”

The rampant delays affecting Amtrak's trains threaten the railroad's growth and even its long-term viability as an operator.

I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.

Amtrak needs the support and the help from Congress.

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