From the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen website comes a solicitation for Class 1 RR certified engineers to fill Amtrak vacancies in Jacksonville, Raleigh, Florence, Miami, Washington and Richmond. If you have any Class 1 freight friends that want to swap over now may be a good time to do so. I understand that many,who have attained age 60, have opted for retirement.A former retired General Chairman tells me that Amtrak is in real need of qualified people. You must attend their school which I believe is in Wilmington. Fax resumes to 202-906-3349 Attn: Saray Ray, Engineer Position @_____ (location.)The difference between Amtrak and freight is you know when and where you are going. Although you run as a first class train on a TT there really are no guarantees as to when, and if, you reach your final destination in less than 12 hours. Beats freight where I have spent 8-10 hours on the train, after hogging out, waiting on transportation. (compliments of the Sunset's host~ the UPRR.)
