According to this CNN report, as many airplanes try to cram more and more passengers in their planes, Amtrak's 40 inches of personal space is becoming quite the selling point in a competitive travel market.
"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
