Dan Lipinski: “I certainly won't claim that I am perfect and we were perfect in putting this together in 2010.”

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

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

Amtrak needs the support and the help from Congress.
