Donald Payne Jr.: “I think he stated it best, and I agree with both sides. It is a bit of a dilemma to be in this position.”

It took 17 years to get agreement there to restart service after Hurricane Katrina.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the Surface Transportation Board's (STB or Board) efforts over the past year.

And we have heard a lot about Amtrak not turning a profit today.

I celebrate the return of this service--and note that it took three years to restore.
