Bush proposals halt Amtrak long distance routes
President Bush moves to end unprofitable long-distance Amtrak routes and push states to fund more intercity service. The plan aims to cut a $1 billion annual deficit by restructuring rail operations, with Northeast Corridor treated specially. Critics warn underinvestment and subsidy needs persist. Amtrak serves 500 communities in 46 states across 22,000 miles.
