My understanding is that there will be a continuing resolution through at least the end of the fiscal year, but of course that is just conjecture coming through the rumor mill. My Kevin Bacon number to Paul Ryan is like two, though, so take it for what it is worth. If I am right, there will be no budget this year.With all of the speculation about LD passenger rail and where it is headed, the 2017 congressional budget should be in place shortly.
Having a FY2018 budget in place by October would be a pleasant surprise, let alone any sooner.....My understanding is that there will be a continuing resolution through at least the end of the fiscal year, but of course that is just conjecture coming through the rumor mill.

We shall see, I guess.

This. This right here. When they ran the maintenance bases for only a few trains a day, they looked really expensive! Now, for lots of trains per day, they don't!But definitely, the more service you have from a given location or maintenance base, the lower the cost per unit.
A CR for the fiscal year is actually a pretty good outcome for Amtrak.My understanding is that there will be a continuing resolution through at least the end of the fiscal year, but of course that is just conjecture coming through the rumor mill.
