Amtrak (from the words “America” and “track”) is the national passenger railroad company of the United States. There is no “Aretrak” or “Istrak,” but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Amtrak
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak (/ˈæmtræk/) (reporting marks AMTK, ,i>AMTZ), is the national passenger railroad company of the United States. It operates inter-city rail service in 46 of the 48 contiguous U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. Amtrak is a portmanteau of the words America and trak, the latter itself a sensational spelling of track.
