Amtrak, the national rail operator, connects America in safer, greener and healthier ways. With 21,000 route miles in 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces, Amtrak operates more than 300 trains each day — at speeds up to 150 mph — to more than 500 destinations. Amtrak also is the operator of choice for state-supported corridor services in 15 states and for four commuter rail agencies.
Here are resources that provide facts and background information on specific corridors and new developments that have been made to improve service along those corridors.
Fact sheets provide information about Amtrak's service and ridership at the state and national levels.
At Amtrak we're committed to increasing our energy efficiency by improving operating practices and conservation measures as well as reducing emissions.
