The easy answer is to return passenger operations to the owners of the tracks, and get rid of the bulk of Amtrak operations. UP/BNSF et al may be more accomodating to passenger trains if said trains are their own rather than the government's. A simple per passenger/mile tax credit should do the trick (and save the taxpayers millions in the process!)
