The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak /ˈæmtræk/, is a partially government-funded American passenger railroad service. It is operated and managed as a for-profit corporation, and provides medium- and long-distance intercity service in the contiguous United States. Amtrak was founded in 1971 through the government-sponsored consolidation of most of the preexisting passenger rail companies in the United States.
Amtrak operates more than 300 trains each day on 21,300 miles (34,000 km) of track with select segments having civil operating speeds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and connecting more than 500 destinations in 46 states in addition to three Canadian provinces. In fiscal year 2015, Amtrak served 30.8 million passengers and had $2.185 billion in revenue, while employing more than 20,000 people. Nearly two-thirds of passengers come from the ten largest metropolitan areas and 83% of passengers travel on routes shorter than 400 miles. Its headquarters is at Union Station in Washington, D.C.
Amtrak Express Parcels was a parcel delivery company in the United Kingdom.
It was founded in 1987 by Roger and Elaine Baines who grew the business from a small outfit based in the West Midlands into a nationwide parcel carrier, with around 1,000 vehicles operating out of around 100 distribution centres.
The growth of the company in the early years was based on its focus on providing high quality deliveries and focusing on small high margin customers who valued the quality of service, as opposed to working with larger companies with bigger volumes who expected much lower prices. From the beginning, the company undertook to deliver all their packages during the morning and provided their customers with computer based tracking facilities (hence the name AM-Trak). The company also benefited hugely from the series of strikes at Royal Mail during the late 1980s.
The company won a number of awards throughout the 1990s and early 2000s for its parcel delivery service over the years, most notably numerous awards from Triangle, the leading independent source of information and analysis on the global mail, express, and logistics market sectors and the related business community.
Amtrak is the government-owned passenger train system in the United States.

Pickin' up the loners that's horny whenever I'm in town
