Oh I immediately thought hamstrung like how the education, healthcare, and mail systems are hamstrung by a government that refuses to invest in them

Yeah exactly, that’s what I meant! Everyone is ignoring the context of what I’m replying to. Amtrak needs more funding. But they do pretty good with what they got.

They also need to be given priority over freight rail, instead of the other way around like it is now. Plus the super-long freight trains they’re using unsafely mean they can’t use existing sidings.

Okay! Seemed a little ambiguous. I hear people still claim that rail should be privatised because “the government doesn’t know how to run a business”.
