Train Attendant
While Filming trains last weekend in Oregon city, Amtrak 507 made a quick evening stop to unload and pick up passengers. After only being there for about 30 seconds - there was 2 passengers standing right next to the train on the platform waiting to board. The only door that was open was for business class way up front. These passengers didn't know where to go and wanted to board their train. I heard over the scanner:
Engineer: Amtrak 507 clear block, oregon city?
Conductor: Clear - I think so.
And then they were on their way.
How often does this happen? I was a bit rediculous. I sat down with the passengers they left afterwards and they were very upset with amtrak.
You should never "Think" you're ready to go. You have to KNOW you're ready to go.
This angered me as well. Get it together Amtrak.
