Amtrak’s trains are too short to meet demand.
Trains regularly sell out, year round, all across the country.
The long distance trains have it the worst. The coaches and sleepers are at least 40 years old and the trains are half as long as they should be.
Funds to buy new night trains are available, but Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration are slow walking the orders.
Getting this order moving is essential to growing the national network and growing the rolling stock supply chain.
Please send an email to Secretary Duffy asking him to expedite the existing orders.
