Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner Statement on Rail Passenger Fairness Act

"Preference of Amtrak trains over freight trains is not only critical, it is also the law. Our customers should arrive on time, and freight railroads shouldn't delay them with their own trains. Proper enforcement of the law is key, and the right tools must be available. We thank Reps. Deluzio and Boyle for introducing this important bill for our customers and their constituents, and we look forward to Congress continuing to discuss this issue and the best ways to ensure Amtrak customers arrive on time."
