Amtrak 'Southwest Chief' derailment in Kansas

[Brakie]

I (stupid?) question:
Has Amtrak it's own tracks/right of way except at some passenger stations? I assumed they have tracking rights only and run their trains over UP, BNSF, CSX..... tracks.

Amtrak owns trackage in the Northeast, Michigan, and passenger terminals throughout the country. However, the overwhelming majority of its mileage is owned and maintained by another entity.

And most railroads would rather see Amtrak go away.
