Amtrak doesn't own any track. It doesn't work in the US because freight always has right if way since they're the only companies making actual money to maintain the track.
Which is a shame, railroads should be owned and maintained by the government, just like highways and roads. Amtrak should be privately owned, and so should the freight companies. But with relevant regulation to ensure no unsafe trains are out there.
