- Description:
- The document discusses the importance of public support for the Lone Star Amtrak train in order to justify federal subsidies. The House amendment adding 40 million dollars to Amtrak appropriations provides an opportunity for viable Amtrak lines, including the Lone Star, to continue service if supported by the public. The document also mentions the possibility of state or local government subsidies if federal support is not enough.
