Dan Lipinski: “Amtrak needs the support and the help from Congress.”

I believe that Congress needs to act quickly to prevent furloughs and avoid long-distance service cuts.

I am especially honored to see $355 million in CIG funds awarded to the South Shore Lines West Lake Corridor.

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

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