Is that still done? The last time I remember seeing that is during the NY - Boston electrification project when they were single tracking through Connecticut.Not to mention handing up train orders to passing locomotives

Hmm...not sure if it's still done with the modern dispatching systems nowadays. Anyone know? Possibly on some obscure short lines?Is that still done? The last time I remember seeing that is during the NY - Boston electrification project when they were single tracking through Connecticut.
I have a question if someone can answer. I got an email to interview for a coach cleaner job and to make a long story short i used to work for amtrak in washington state and was fired before probation. I reapplied and got an email to interview for a coach cleaner job in New York City so I guess you can get rehired maybe after a certain period of time and when I initially went through the hiring process they drug tested me for my hair, but they did not test for marijuana. The only tested it for your urine. I stopped smoking 17 days ago. I also work out 5-6 days a week im 131lbs and short. So should i be okay? I was worried about the drug test even though i went through it before, because what if it changed or it was a special circumstance. Please help! 🙏🏻 thanks!
I think that at this point in time that the majority of people who were internal transfers have already made the move.I noticed Amtrak's job listings (link) have included numerous conductor trainee postings in all regions just within the past few days. Curious if anyone here may have some insight whether this is a typical time of year to recruit conductor trainees across the network and also if anyone who's not an internal hire has found success landing interviews/offers for the training program. Thanks.
Bingo! OBS has it spot on.They tend to hire Conductors several times a year, whenever they have enough need to run a class. They hire many people off the street for these positions especially off the NE Corridor locations.
Good luck I hope this works out for you.Hi, I just got hired and my first day of training starts on February 5th. What I be doing for training, and would they be sending me anywhere for it? I got hired for OBS chef out of LA. Thanks in advance!!

That is not an official Amtrak ad. Amtrak isn’t in the freight industry. 😉Saw this ad in my Instagram feed. I follow Amtrak's account on Instagram so no doubt it was a targeted ad.
Glad to know they are using various channels to try to get new hires on board.

You're right! The ad popped up again and this time I clicked through. It went to a site called Career Boutique and it wanted your email address to show you the purported job openings. I reported it as misleading and possibly a scam.That is not an official Amtrak ad. Amtrak isn’t in the freight industry. 😉
Based on posts on AU I'm sure there are a lot of candidates right here.https://careers.amtrak.com/job/Dir-Amtrak-Route-Network-Expansion-West-90339778-(Remote-Option)/1136193900/

I recently applied on May 3rd also out of Los Angeles. I did interview on May 23rd. Class starts July 29th. They told me I would hear back from them via email after June 7th. I hope and pray that they give me the green light.Hello I recently applied for the position passenger conductor trainee for Amtrak and I’m curious about the job timeline usually from applying online to be/ being contacted by HR/ then being assigned to the school for training if anyone has been through the process already, also on my profile candidate page I applied for the Seattle Washington station and it’s says it’s under review and the job listing for the job is no longer posted but I haven’t received or heard anything from Amtrak? Is this a good sign or a common tactic they use to review applicants still?
