One thing that continues to stand out on the national network revenue side is the Sunset and Cardinal need to go daily. Nice report I’d like to see it audited and verified. What numbers if any jump out to you guys?

You can find the audited reports and analysis for FY22 at:

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Consolidated Financial Statements with Report of Independent Auditors - Fiscal Year 2022 (PDF, 15.4MB)

Audited Consolidated Financial Statements - Fiscal Year 2022 (PDF, 1MB)

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Fiscal Year 2022 (PDF, 1.4MB)

FY2023 is yet to be completed so there are no reports on it yet.

One thing I liked is they spelled out the initiatives that would be funded if they get the additional dollars - helpful for advocacy efforts to lawmakers to give Amtrak it's fully authorized amount.

It’s 129 pages, sorry do you have a page number that referred the new initiatives. Thanks in advance.

It’s a common theme throughout - they specify a base level of funding and “modernization” (additional efforts they could do with a fuller funding.)
