amtrak

/ˈæmtɹæk/ name

A US passenger railway (incorporated as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation).

Word Origin Amtrak is a portmanteau of America and track, with track coming from Old Norse 'trekk' meaning to pull or draw—the same root as trek. So the name literally blends 'American' and 'track' to suggest a national rail system. The America part traces back to explorer Amerigo Vespucci, whose name came from Germanic Amalric meaning 'brave ruler'.
