    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    Yeah, I applied for that one.  Along with other T&E spots now in Denver, Little Rock, Depew, Rennselaer, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Kansas City.

    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    It's much the same in Richmond, VA.  There was a year in the mid 90s when the city had the second highest per-capita murder rate in the ENTIRE COUNTRY.  And now?  Well just as Pittsburgh, housing costs are through the roof.  It's the same story in a lot of these "cool" small to medium sized...

    "Precision Scheduled Railroading" is just kind of a dumb brand name for Hunter Harrison (and his cronies) brand of railroad management.  Don't get me wrong it has -some- positives, but as at its core it's a method of juicing stock prices, a lot of what's involved is cutting things to the bone. ...

    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    Unfortunately none of my relatives live anyplace they're hiring just now, save for NYC.  Got a brother there.  Intruding on him for a whole year probably would get really old really fast for the both of us though, haha.

    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    So where do DC crews work to?  I know Richmond does the leg north to DC.  So if NYC works south to DC, what territory does DC have?

    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    Thanks for the help!  Lots of other places they're hiring too, but I'm in Richmond, VA right now (wish they were hiring here!) and don't exactly want to move all the way out to Denver or LA, haha.  Not really interested in NYC, Buffalo, New Haven or DC either.  Albany at least seems to have a...

    Anyone here work for Amtrak?

    CSX Conductor here. Just shy of 7 years in. Looking to make a move to the passenger side of things as the "Precision" atmosphere is just exhausting and oppressive. I applied for a few T&E positions last night and already got the email to take some online tests... I assume one of them is the...
