Denver and Rio Grande Western
The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) operated a thrice-weekly round trip (the remains of the California Zephyr. The D&RGW opted to continued running its own service, fearing that Amtrak might increase frequency and cause congestion on its single-track mainline. Not until 1983 did the D&RGW discontinue its own service and allow Amtrak's California Zephyr to use its line.

Union Pacific
The Union Pacific Railroad ran 18 daily trains and eight tri-weekly trains. Only one pair of trains was directly continued by Amtrak, albeit at a reduced frequency. The Amtrak iteration of the City of San Francisco also operated over the UP tri-weekly between Denver and Ogden, combining portions of the former City of San Francisco and City of Kansas City routings.

Other railroads
Several services were outside the scope of Amtrak:
 * The Alaska Railroad operated a twice-weekly mixed train (daily during the summer months) between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Although the Rail Passenger Service Act explicitly included Alaska as a possible service area, the railroad was geographically separated from the national network and already owned by the federal government, and it has continued to operate separately from Amtrak.
 * A Canadian National Railway Winnipeg–Thunder Bay local service, which crossed part of northern Minnesota, was considered a Canada-centric service not relevant to Amtrak. It ran until 1977.
 * The Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) Atlantic Limited, which crossed northern Maine, was also not relevant to Amtrak. It was taken over by Via Rail in 1978 and ran until 1994. CP, Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway, and Penn Central also jointly operated a Buffalo–Toronto service that connected with the Empire Service at Buffalo. This service ran until 1981, when it was replaced by the Maple Leaf.
 * The Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, though allowed to join Amtrak, determined that its South Shore Line was an ineligible commuter service. Local public funding for its trains began in 1977, with the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District fully taking over the service in 1989.
