Dan Lipinski: “I have always been a strong advocate for Amtrak, because it provides an important public service: national passenger…”

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

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

I believe that Congress should establish a dispute resolution process between commuter railroads and freight railroads at the STB.

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