Amtrak is posting record ridership and revenue, but why do its long-distance train routes still struggle to turn a profit? In this video, ONthTRains breaks down the real numbers behind Amtrak’s long-distance network, analyzing which routes underperform, why operating costs remain so high, and how these trains fit into the future of U.S. passenger rail. We explore rising ridership trends, federal subsidies, on-time performance issues, host railroad constraints, and the unique role long-distance trains play in connecting rural America. From financial losses to political realities, this deep dive explains whether Amtrak’s long-distance routes are truly failing—or simply misunderstood—and whether cutting them would actually improve the national rail system.
