Dan Lipinski: “I think we have to keep on focusing on innovation, it is the way that our country is going to succeed.”

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

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

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

Amtrak must heed and not ignore Congress' desire that it work well with others.
