  • Host Railroad Report Card &
    Host Railroad Report Card & FAQ 1) What is a “host railroad”? Most of Amtrak’s network is on tracks owned, maintained, and dispatched by highly-profitable freight railroads, known as “host” railroads where Amtrak uses their tracks. Most of the trains on these rail lines are the freight railroads’ own freight trains. Because the freight railroads make all dispatching decisions about which trains have priority in using the rail line, the freight railroads have a tremendous amount of influence over Amtrak’s operations on their lines. Prior to Amtrak’s creation in 1971, the privately-owned railroads had a common carrier obligation to operate passenger trains themselves – an obligation that dated back to when the railroads were built in the 1800s. Because the railroads were losing money on their passenger trains, Congress created Amtrak and relieved the private railroads of their obligation to operate passenger trains. A very important part of the deal was that Amtrak would still have access to the railroads’ lines in order to operate passenger trains. Every year Amtrak pays host railroads $142 million for using their tracks and other resources needed to operate Amtrak trains. 2) What distinguishes hosts with good Amtrak performance? Hosts typically achieve good Amtrak performance through a combination of: a) Commitment to providing quality service for Amtrak’s passengers, b) An active partnership with Amtrak, where both sides work cooperatively and the hosts respect Federal law which protects the rights of our nation’s passengers, and c) A well-disciplined operation that benefits both Amtrak and freight customers alike. 3) What does “Delays per 10,000 train miles” mean? It is a measure of how much delay each host railroad causes to Amtrak trains.

    High Speed Rail on the Pacific Coast Released for comment and discussion by the Premier of British Columbia and the Governors of Washington, Oregon and California on November 16, 2010. Action on Transportation: Pacific Coast Collaborative 1.0 Introduction At the February 2010 Pacific Coast Collaborative Leaders’ Forum, the Governors of California, Oregon and Washington and the Premier of British Columbia released for public comment and discussion “Vision 2030: Positioning Pacific North America for Sustainable Prosperity.” This document highlights that, over the next 20 years, “the jurisdictions along North America’s Pacific Coast are poised to emerge as a mega-region and global economic powerhouse driven by innovation, energy, geographic location, and sustainable resource management, attracting new jobs and investment while enhancing an already unparalleled quality of life.” A key component of this vision is high-speed rail. In Vision 2030, the Governors and Premier envision environmentally friendly, high-speed rail corridors in operation throughout the region in 2030, facilitated by public-private partnerships; with high-speed rail corridors connecting San Diego to Sacramento, and Portland to Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. In their Action Plan on Innovation, Environment and Economy, the Governors and the Premier directed their appropriate agencies and officials to examine going further still to undertake a joint feasibility study for their consideration on methods to supplement and leverage existing and planned high-speed rail investments to fully connect the region from San Diego through Portland and Seattle to Vancouver, British Columbia. This document represents Phase 1 of the requested study. Action on Transportation: Pacific Coast Collaborative | Page 1 2.0 Why High-Speed Rail?
