The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak (reporting mark AMTK), is a government-owned corporation that was organized on May 1, 1971, to provide intercity passenger train service in the United States. "Amtrak" is a portmanteau of the words "America" and "track".[1] It is headquartered at Union Station in Washington, D.C.[2]
All of Amtrak's preferred stock is owned by the U.S. federal government. The members of its board of directors are appointed by the President of the United States and are subject to confirmation by the United States Senate. Common stock was issued in 1971 to railroads that contributed capital and equipment; these shares convey almost no benefits[3] but their current holders[4] declined a 2002 buy-out offer by Amtrak.[5]
Amtrak employs nearly 19,000 people. It operates passenger service on 21,000 miles (34,000 km) of track primarily owned by freight railroads connecting 500 destinations in 46 states[6] and three Canadian provinces. In fiscal year 2008, Amtrak served 28.7 million passengers, representing six straight years of record ridership.[6][7] Despite this recent growth, the United States still has one of the lowest inter-city rail usages in the developed world.

Organizational structure addresses the questions of what is the best form of organization and why. Organizational structure and the communication system interact closely with each other to produce employee satisfaction, especially satisfaction with the organization (Dozier, Grunig, JE & Grunig, LA 2002). The organizational structure and organizational culture should work well together. The Organizational structure is something that supposedly would allow the allocation of responsibilities for different functions by individuals in the company, this should organize the company and prevent any clashes between departments over the work at hand but if the culture of the organization is not good the result would be catastrophic. The organizational culture and structure are not working well in Ortegas’ case. Both the organizational culture and structure of Ortega have various goals that tend to contradict one another. The organizational structure wants to promote unity but the culture states otherwise. The organizational structure doesn’t match the culture and it leads to disorganization and unfinished goals. An organization may have organized well the tasks and responsibilities for each personnel but if these personnel have cultures that are hampering the performance of their duties the performance of the company becomes affected as a whole. There should only be one dominant organizational culture for Ortegas, having more than one culture can lead to arguments and fights even if there is already a strong structure. Once the structure and culture of the organization works well together the result would be lesser delays in producing products and a better performance for the firm.
