The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing

business as Amtrak (reporting mark AMTK), is a

government-owned corporation that was organizedon May 1, 1971, to provide intercity passenger

train service in the United States. "Amtrak" is a

combination of the words "America" and "track". It is

headquartered at Union Station in Washington, D.C.



Amtrak employs nearly 19,000 people. It operates

passenger service on 21,000 miles (34,000 km) of track

primarily owned by freight railroads connecting 500

destinations in 46 states and three Canadian provinces.

In fiscal year 2008, Amtrak served 28.7 million

passengers, representing six straight years of record

ridership. Despite this recent growth, the United States

still has one of the lowest inter-city rail usages in the

developed world.



Amtrak began operations on May 1, 1971. The

corporation was molded from the passenger rail

operations of 20 out of 26 major railroads in operation

at the time. The railroads contributed rolling stock,

equipment, and capital. In return, they received

approval to discontinue their passenger services, and at

least some acquired common stock in Amtrak. Amtrakreceived no rail tracks or right-of-way at its inception.

Railroads that shed passenger operations were expected

to host Amtrak trains on their tracks, for a fee.



Amtrak has some presence in all of the 48 contiguousstates, between Boston, Massachusetts, and Washington,D.C., as well as between Philadelphia and Harrisburg,Pennsylvania, is powered by overhead electric wires; for

the rest of the system, diesel locomotives are used.Routes vary widely in frequency of service, from threetrips weekly on the Sunset Limited to weekday serviceseveral times per hour on the Northeast Corridor, (New

York City to Washington, D.C.) Amtrak also operates acaptive bus service, Thruway Motorcoach, whichprovides connections to train routes. In addition, thecompany owns Passenger Railway Insurance.
