@@acelakid94 Hey man so to answer your questions, I made the Switch because believe it or not I lived all the way in CT at the time Keolis was the only railroad that hired me on as an Assistant Condcutor so I took the opportunity, at the same time I drove two hours (4 in total) to and from work everyday with Keolis as I lived in CT. So the last few months amtrak hired me and I made the switch for the better I now am out of the new york crew base. and to answer your second question Yes I still did go to Delaware but I am not certified not as an AC cause your just an AC, but as a Conductor you need to be Certified and qualified for whichever territory or segment you train on that's a whole different story. in my personal opinion I was very lucky to start off passenger and end with a better passenger agency ass opposed to doing freight than doing passenger but everyone starts off somewhere haha.

Tim, I wouldn't talk to the engineer while the train is moving, wHEN i WAS AN ENGINEER ON THE muS i NEVER HAD ANYBODY INCLUDING MY BOSS THE RFof E TALK TO ME WHILE I WAS MOVING..You may be held responsible with the engineer if something happens especially a crossing accident or a station accident I am a retired Road foreman of Engines on one of the roads you travel on. On an accident that I investigated, passengers were brough in to the trial and the engineer was given 90 days on the street and the company paid a price for the accident. I reminded you a year or so before. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO, YOU COULD PAY A PRICE FOR THIS.....
