Does anyone know if they have future plans to have a crew base station in Atlanta?
Current plans are to reduce the workforce.

My husband is an engineer-based in Texas but we’re from Atlanta. I want to get closer to Atlanta but with all these layoffs i’m not sure if that’s gonna be possible. I’m trying to find the closest crew base to Atlanta. I guess Things are gonna change come October for everyone
I think Savannah is one as well. Maybe he can bump when they open Sadie Hawkins
Thanks for all this information.Savannah is a Engineer crew base only I believe. Amtrak doesn't have the "Sadie Hawkins" where you can bump into a new crew base once or twice a year. Amtrak has Bi-Annual "Optionals" which is an Optional Displacement from the job that you're currently holding to a new job. As far as bumping into a new crew base. One can do that throughout the year if a job opens up. For instance if you're holding a Extra Board job in Philadelphia in June and want to bump into Albany, if their is an Extra Board job or a set schedule job in Albany and you bid and win the bid then you have bumped into Albany. But it's important to note that if you bid into a new crew base you need to get qualified on that territory. Unless it's stated in the bulletin, you will not be paid for qualifying.
