Dan Lipinski: “They are not looking necessarily for a college degree but with the basic skills needed to do some of these jobs in…”

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

Amtrak needs the support and the help from Congress.

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