Yes it is a government corporation just like the post office. It was organized on May 1, 1971 after the Rail Passenger Service Act was passed by congress and signed into law by President Nixon in 1970. This act created the National Railroad Passenger Corporation which is a public/private entity supported by taxpayer money which operates Amtrak.

Why does Amtrak needs to be government owned?
In brief: Amtrak is government owned because otherwise there likely would no longer be any long-distance passenger rail service in the US. It receives a hefty government subsidy each year to operate and would have long ago gone bankrupt without it. Even with the subsidy, the lowest fares on Amtrak between any two given cities are often not dramatically better than the lowest 21-day advance airfare. Coupled with the significantly longer travel time and the (usually) less frequent departures, the wasted time often overwhelms the relatively modest cost savings.
