As the HSR corridors and state built-operated regional commuter rail systems are built out over the next 20 years, their success will be highly tied to these AmTrak rail lines. Conventional, long-haul AmTrak will serve as feeder lines into these new developing regional rail systems. They will effectively "feed" each other passengers.
For it all to work, we need to continue expanding metro rail/commuter systems the city level, regional and HSR at the state/regional level and continue to improve AmTrak service, speed and reliability at the national/trans regional levels.
