Dan Lipinski: “Better rail infrastructure is urgently needed to expand service.”

I don't think that your decision to furlough these 2,000 employees is going to save the day.

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

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.
