"Outgoing Amtrak President George Warrington said Thursday that perennial financial problems at the nation's passenger railroad are being aggravated by questions about its future and by proposals in Congress to break it up...Warrington said Amtrak needs to persuade outside auditors that the railroad will operate for at least another year. Without such a declaration, Amtrak will have trouble gaining access to a line of credit essential for the railroad's immediate survival."
