Lets use small town X USA, population 30k.
Amtrak station...
1. Amtrak cafe
2. Amtrak bed & breakfast (an 8 room add on to the station)...would you not like to visit these small towns but fear no nearby hotel/transportation.
3. Rent usage to Bus company;Greyhound. Much better for Greyhound passagers versus waiting at the gas station.
4. Amtrak rent out waiting area for community/senior center activities.
5. Amtrak gift shop
6. Small town CVB office.
I'm sure we could think of more. The point is this revenue for Amtrak
