Born in 1971, Amtrak took over struggling US passenger rail, offering scenic journeys across 46 states and Canada. Despite initial hurdles, it streamlined its network, launched iconic trains like the Acela Express, and grew ridership. Though still partly funded by government, Amtrak now strives for profitability, balancing modern amenities like Wi-Fi with historic routes like the iconic Coast Starlight. From humble beginnings, Amtrak continues to chug towards a bright future on America's tracks with California's routes continuing to thrive.
