Rail Passenger Service Act
The Rail Passenger Service Act (PL 91-518) of 1970, a United States federal law, created Amtrak, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation of the United States. This organization took over passenger rail service from the private railroads, which afterwards provided only freight service, and placed it in a government corporation.
