Current Washington Budget Situation and Amtrak

[fulham]

With both the House and Senate appearing to maybe pass a budget that includes an increase in domestic spending, does anyone know what Amtrak's number will be in all this? I know Trump's budget would cut Amtrak monies but I don't think his budget was ever even considered. I am assuming Amtrak will continue with the status quo but was wondering if anyone had more specific information.

I tried to figure this out by inquiring of my reps but only response was everything is being negotiated, status quo likely except defense.

How will the coming shut down affect Amtrak services?

Not affected since the employees are not government employees.
