I'm very interested in a career with Amtrak as an Engineer. From what I have read, there are two ways to get hired as an Engineer.
1. You have past experience with another railroad as a certified Engineer.
2. You get promoted from Conductor to Engineer.
I just wanted to know which way would be give me my best chances as to becoming an Engineer? How long would it take for a Conductor for Amtrak to get promoted to Engineer? Any information would be helpful.
