From the law, Amtrak will get about $66 billion in new investments, according to the White House. “I’ve been talking about this for a long time, I know," Biden said of rail improvements. “They're trying to make it slower, harder and less safe.”Before his formal remarks, a beaming Biden chatted and laughed with Amtrak maintenance shop workers. Biden responded, “Well, I got about $16 billion for you,” drawing laughs.
