AMTRAK AND ITS TEXAS OPERATIONS. PASSENGER SERVICE EVALUATION. TECHNICAL REPORT 2

All intercity rail passenger service in Texas is operated by Amtrak. If Texas determines that it is feasible and fiscally responsible to provide additional rail passenger service in the state, this service would be implemented and operated by Amtrak with state financial assistance. This report is divided into three independent sections. The first section presents a description of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. The second section describes opportunities for and experience with state subsidization of Amtrak service. The final section presents a description of existing rail passenger service in Texas.
