I'd try to get this job but the chances of me getting it are too slim to bother.

Hey, you never know. It's worth a shot. Unlike the MTA they don't charge you a fee to apply for it.

Im thinking about it too. Well meet at Harrison;) You headed back towards PA, and me headed to New York Penn, and beyond.

[Y2Julio 206]

If I had a car, I would have applied for it.

[metsfan 2]

Yea, i don't really have a way to get there reliably. Plus i'm not ready for that kind of responsibility. I mean once i was at trenton i'd just hitch a ride on whatever train, but getting there doesn't work aside from once a week. Maybe if (SEPTA) had something. :cool:

They have a spot in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania http://amtrak.teamrewards.net/TR_PublicWeb/Wizards?fp=1&tp=5&jobid=194865&ctm=1224527155652

Take a look at this too http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5756

They have some Conductor jobs in Pennsylvania too.

Sadly its even harder for me to get places in the car-centric PA. :mad:

 

In maybe a year or 2 i'd hop on that, but not now. Plus, i want to take a class at the local college on locomotive engineer basics! :cool:

Never mind I was looking at another one.

[Y2Julio 206]

Not from what I read.

WORK EXPERIENCE: Some work experience demonstrating the ability to maintain alertness, awareness and vigilance, as well as clear, effective verbal communication skills in the performance of work. Satisfactory attendance and safe work record. Prior railroad operating experience and work history that demonstrates ability to adapt to variable and often changing work hours preferred. Preference given to individuals who were trained by a Class 1 carrier or equivalent passenger railroad and are currently certified as Class 1 Train Service Engineers.

Yea, read the one above, the pay is kind of low though for an engineer.

[metsfan 2]

I got 8 years of that kind of experience.....

That might be the training rate until you pass the Amtrak version of schoolcar

Yeah, it's a trainee position.

[Paul P 0]

Then what is the starting rate for a rookie engineer? (not training)

[metsfan 2]
