The U.S. Justice Department has filed a civil lawsuit against Norfolk Southern, accusing the railway company of causing delays for Amtrak's Crescent Route between New York City and New Orleans in violation of federal law. The Biden administration's focus on improving passenger rail services includes significant funding for rail projects, yet only a quarter of southbound trains on the Crescent Route reached their destinations on time last year. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that Americans should not suffer travel delays due to freight carriers violating legal obligations.
