WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Amtrak on Thursday put to rest any threat of a possible shutdown this year after congressional negotiators approved $1.2 billion in subsidies for the passenger rail service.

"This number will allow us to continue to operate the national system," the railroad's president, David Gunn, said in a statement. "However, we will have to assess the impact of this funding level on our current budget over the next month or so."
