Dan Lipinski: “Too often it feels like Amtrak is happy to take money from Congress and then ignore Congress' directives.”

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.

One group of major industry stakeholders never celebrated the Staggers Act: railroad workers.

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