Amtrak Statement Regarding A Fee for Groups Wanting to Reconfigure Railcars

“After further review, Amtrak has determined to suspend the policy in question.  It was never meant to be applied to this situation and we apologize for that mistake.  We are glad it has all worked out and we were able to accommodate our customers’ trip.  We will do better next time.  We are America’s Railroad and we want to provide more trips, not fewer.”
