Nationally integrated computerized reservation system and ticketing for rail passenger service (Arrow): Amtrak
Showers in Sleeper cars: Amtrak
High speed with active tilt in North American mixed ops: Amtrak (via Alstom technology)
PTC in North America (ACSES I): Amtrak
Master Partnerships for Terminal Redevelopment: Amtrak
ADA Accessible Rail Passenger Equipment and Facilities: Amtrak
Railfone (cellular technology based pay phones): Amtrak
Sous vide food prep and cooking in rail passenger dining service: Amtrak
Onboard WiFi in passenger rail service: Amtrak (prototyped on the Downeaster)
Combined Electrification and Traffic Control (CETC) dispatching: Amtrak (done in the early years via NECIP funding)
I would further strongly dispute that Amtrak's eticketing lift technology is comparable to the airlines. In flight crews don't use a handheld device while underway, it's a static point at the gate. Furthermore the manifest and passenger count changes at a frequency unheard of in the aviation industry.
