In other words, it doesn't enjoy the level of government subsidies that other forms of travel currently do?

Yes, exactly.
The question I'd ask is, other than preserving the way of operating that amtrak has, is it worth the subsidy - I'd say yes, preserving the knowledge of how to operate LD trains is important, so is offering the rural communities it serves transportation, I'd like to expand rail service even.
