Three types of routes are offered by Amtrak: long-distance routes, state-supported routes, and Northeast Corridor routes. The Northeast Corridor service is subsidized by federal appropriations, while federally-supported long-distance services are subsidized by appropriations under a separate line item from the NEC in federal budgets. Amtrak partners with 17 states to provide additional short- and medium-distance services, which are subsidized by periodic payments from state partners.
Three routes – Carolinian, Northeast Regional, and Vermonter – are state-subsidized only on sections of the Northeast Corridor. The Northeast Regional and San Joaquin have branches served by different trips, while the Empire Builder and Lake Shore Limited are split into two sections. Not every trip runs the full route.
