Transit lines are public, like roads. The police would issue the ticket.

If I recall correctly, Amtrack is a government agency, and I guess that does have some weight. They can, as can private institutions, take you to court for the fines.

I would argue in this instance that Amtrack does not have a case. You could also say that they are at fault for not putting either underground or overhead pedestrian walkways, suitable for the disabled, at their crossing point.
