My name is Wayne and I'm from the Boston area. This forum seems to have many enthusiasts and employees of Amtrak, so I figured I'd make an account.
I work for the MBTA as a motorperson and have plans to join Amtrak in the future and make my way up to becoming a locomotive engineer (Though I've been trying to get my foot in the door for the last 4 years with no luck). I like trains and do enjoy operating them. Fun fact about myself: The challenge of barreling towards a station, stopping in just the right spot and doing it so smoothly that the passengers don't even notice until I open the doors is super satisfying to me.
Anyway, just making this first post to say hi to everyone, so.....hi.
