I get to chattanooga with 10,000 feet trains in less than 4 hours so running a 8 car passenger train will get there in great time. Lots of double main for the terrain it covers.
that’s the overall plan we’ve been told. Down the road the train would run to savannah to connect with silver lines. I have been applying for Jax Amtrak for months.
I am a engineer for CSX. I work along the W&A mainline. We have been informed Amtrak will be using our line to run 2 sets of trains a day on our track Nashville to Atlanta. Also Amtrak is proposing to purchase our old Hulsey Yard.
Out of pure curiosity as a Freight engineer. What are the newest locomotives being used on the longer routes? I've seen allot of P42's just didn't know if Amtrak is using any tier 4 locomotives.
I want to thank everyone for the very valuable information. This means allot to me and I really hope to join the Amtrak family soon. If there's anything I can help anyone with please feel free to contact me.
I personally would love to be out west. My wife rather us stay close to family in the south east. I missed the opportunity to apply for a Jacksonville engineer job just recently
Oh I’m sure. I’m a quick learner though. I was told that the schooling in Deleware was cut a little shorter if you are already a class 1 Engineer license.
Just curious. LD network? PRIIA? And just from googling Richard Anderson. What has he done to change things at AMTRAK. once again I’m freight engineer and trying to learn the passenger ways of things
