I too like the short snippets of info. Sounds like you're having a great trip thus far.

53 year old, been in the Coast Guard for 33 years retiring early summer 2019. Hoping to go to work for AMTRAK, but I figure at my age its probably a pipe dream. I've ridden the Silver Service trains about 6 or 8 times from FL when I was stationed down there to Fayetteville, NC. Just rode it up...

I'm thinking of applying for employment with AMTRAK. Only snag is I'm not yet retired from my current job. I would be afforded time to do a day here and there, just not the 8-10 week training in DE. Any advice on how close to retirement I should wait before submitting an application?

I'm a Senior Chief in the U. S. Coast Guard.

Awesome! Thank you all for the positive responses!

Is there any leeway on the requirement to live within 2 hours of the crew base? Say 2 hours 15minutes?
