Amtrak is a publicly funded corporation, created by the federal government, but it operates as a for-profit entity. While many of its employees are considered federal workers due to the government’s involvement, Amtrak itself is not classified as a federal agency. Employees may benefit from some federal job-related perks, but they are not federal employees in the traditional sense.
Amtrak was organized May 1, 1971.
Amtrak operates 33 routes in the United States that includes the routes that do go to Canada. Many of Amtrak's medium distance routes are supported by state tax money or the Amtrak uses equipment on the routes that the state purchased. Exmples of this include Amtrak California routes and Amtrak Cascades.
