The issues are purportedly operational, having to do with rail capacity at the Port of Mobile, although there are also procedural issues to the controversy.

Congressional leaders and regulators are looking at ways Amtrak can improve its on-time performance, and they’re employing different tactics to get to that goal.
The freight railroads factor into Amtrak’s ability to meet certain on-time performance metrics because the railroads and Amtrak share the same track in certain areas of the U.S. rail network, such as heavily-trafficked areas near Chicago or along the Northeast corridor. According to a 2020 Amtrak fact sheet, 72% of the miles traveled by Amtrak trains are on tracks owned by other railroads, including commuter line Metro-North and Class I railroads such as BNSF (NYSE: BRK.B) and Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP).
