Amtrak
officially began service in May 1971.
Amtrak serves more than 500 stations in 46 states and operates over a
network of more than 22,000 track miles.
Ridership is highly seasonal, with July and August being very high
season months. In 2000, Amtrak
introduced a high-speed rail service in the northeast U.S., which helped
increase ridership.
