The rampant delays affecting Amtrak's trains threaten the railroad's growth and even its long-term viability as an operator.
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 hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
