Amtrak was obsolete twenty years ago. Like the postal service, our government sees some reason to keep pumping precious funds into a corpse of a business just so the northeast can continue to have crappy commuter service.
Amtrak is obsolete, but it's only money-making route is, I think, on the trains between Boston and Wash. D.C., where the fares are as much as air fare. It was cheaper for me a few years ago to go to Pittsburgh via train, than it is to go to D.C.
