Passenger rail service in the United States is severely limited, especially for long-distance travel. Currently, Amtrak operates only 15 routes across 39 states. A recent Federal Railroad Administration study proposes adding 15 more routes, which would connect more than 60 new metropolitan areas and provide access to 39 million people without existing rail access.
