Hey guys. I have a quick question I am hoping some of you who still live in the Bay Area can answer.
Last summer when I was out in California visiting some friends and riding the rails I was in the Emeryville, CA station and noticed this flyer. The flyer advertised the possibility of high school seniors or other people interested in trains the ability to help out around the station (no pay involved). Telling people which train is which, etc. Since my senior internship is quickly approaching, this idea came up in a discussion during class today. We have the opportunity to travel and I would love to go back to my home town and do this for a few days.
I spent some time today searching for the Emeryville contact information, and the best I could come up was 2 numbers. The first, 510-450-1080, put me through to the generic capital corridor automated system, which EVENTUALLY lead me to a real person. Unfortunately the person I had the privilege of talking to could clearly not care less about my interest in the Emeryville phone number, and replied "No" when I asked her if she knew what the number to the station was. Then she instructed me to call 411 and that was it. I then proceeded to call the second number, 510-450-1087, which I tried a few times throughout the day. Basically, it rang for 5 minutes and nobody picked up. I finally called 411 and was given the same number I had dialed the first time, taking me to the capital corridor automated system.
Now is where I need your help. I was hoping that somebody in that area could do me a huge favor and let me know whether or not this opportunity was still available? Or if they had a working number for the Emeryville station? I have to try and get this worked out in the coming 2 weeks so I have my fingers crossed. Thanks in advance guys!
