No, Amtrak supposedly has priority by law: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/04/29/...

Based on this article, I'm under the impression that the law was overturned. The most recent article I can find about the status of adjudication suggests that Amtrak will have a very difficult time upholding that law: http://lyldenlawnews.com/2016/09/22/u-s-faces-a-choice-on-am...

Yes, and that law didn't come out of the blue. More pertinently, a purpose built passenger rail line will have priority for passengers.
