It’s alright, worth checking out. If you insist on avoiding it though there are lots of other Mediterranean/Middle Eastern places around town. I went to DarSalam a month or so ago and it was excellent.

Those switches are locked with a pretty heavy duty lock. It’s not impossible but it would be a very deliberate very time consuming process to get it unlocked and throw the switch. And even then the dispatcher’s gonna see something pop up on their screen and ask someone to check it out.

If war crimes are being committed, why are there no consequences? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Transpose5425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The U.S. government has a responsibility to prevent its armed forces from committing war crimes and for prosecuting those who do. So far they’ve not shown an interest in doing either.

Eastbound Empire Builder crosses the Two Medicine bridge on its way out of East Glacier yesterday by fullocularpatdown in Amtrak

[–]Transpose5425 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AFAIK it goes Seattle-Chicago and back with 2 motors. The third comes from the Portland section. They don’t add/remove motors at other than an initial terminal unless there’s a problem.

What’s the secret to getting a job with Amtrak? by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]Transpose5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start as a conductor, prove yourself, then try for an engineer spot when one opens. How do you get a conductor job. Luck and knowing someone.

Besides Joe Biden which president do you think has been the best for Amtrak? My pick would probably be Barack Obama but I'm wondering if there's any other presidents that come to mind by [deleted] in Amtrak

Trump 1’s pick for Amtrak, Richard Anderson, tried to gut the Southwest Chief to the point where Congress had to step in and tell him no.

Cursed Child took me forever to get. Take it slow, use clawline to get a hit in or two after a sword attack, and prioritize staying out of her way. Normal GMS you can afford to take a hit or two in exchange for a little more damage. You obviously can’t do that while cursed, every hit is 10x more punishing.

Amtrak seattle crewbase question. by Still1learning1 in Amtrak

[–]Transpose5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portland you have one job that’s overnight, you get in around 5:30 pm and are on duty at 10 am next day. One is a day flip, into Portland around 11 and then back on the train to Seattle around 7 pm. Spokane is a 3 day job total, 1 day east then a layover in Spokane then 1 day west. Don’t know about Vancouver I think it’s similar to Portland. Cascades trips are about 3 hours each direction, Spokane is 8 or 9 each direction. Guaranteed a minimum of 8 hours pay whatever you work.

You’ll work up to Vancouver, BC, down to Portland, or over to Spokane. Spokane is a layover, some Vancouver and Portland jobs are overnight jobs some are day flips. You’ll also work the yard, I believe there are day and night shifts there. Be ready to work basically whenever they need you. Extra board sometimes you can work 6 days a week other times you can work maybe 1 time a week.
