In February I boarded Amtrak’s Empire Builder in Bingen, transferred to the Coast Starlight in Portland, and my son met me in Stockton, CA, just 12 miles from his house. Taking a plane would have been faster, but I would have had to get to PDX and my son would have needed to drive to San Francisco or San Jose to meet me. Amtrak plans on upgrading passenger cars, adding more routes to serve rural areas, and creating more jobs. This is possible because of President Biden's leadership in getting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed. President Biden is making the American passenger rail system great again.
