Founded in 1971 as a quasi-public corporation to operate many U.S. passenger rail routes,[1][2][4] Amtrak receives a combination of state and federal subsidies but is managed as a for-profit organization.[3] The United States federal government through the Secretary of Transportation owns all the company's issued and outstanding preferred stock.[5] Amtrak's headquarters is located one block west of Union Station in Washington, D.C.[6]


Mayor Pete is on the board as the Sec of Transportation. It’s pretty public even though it’s managed as a for-profit outfit.
