Dan Lipinski: “346 people died in 2 crashes of Boeing 737 MAX planes that should not have been certified to fly by the FAA.”

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

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

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

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