And what area are you near that Amtrak coach cleaners work at, because I am mostly looking for information about Amtrak Coach Cleaners now as my main character works for a company such as Amtrak. Just note that the name Amtrak will not be used for copyright reasons. Also, I am looking for how much they normally make a year and if they get paid weekly or bi-weekly.
This belongs in the employment forum, I believe. S&S stands for Service & Inspection.

This morning at about 8:45, I saw a 2-car Orange Line train headed inbound at Sullivan on the third track. What was up with that?

Not sure why you posted that in this thread, but anyways, I got an alert this morning about a disabled train and 20 minute delays or so. That was likely the dead set limping to Wellington.

Quick question, while i am at work i listen to my scanner, i have heard the terminal train dispatcher at boston south station tell the engineer "okay to have the starter", what does that mean by "okay to have the starter"? I might use this for my book.

I have made a number of updates (i.e. CSX tk 7 was extended to Tower 1, the Boston Herald siding, the Green Lines mapped, etc) since then.

Which makes no sense, since April only has 30 days.

Some programmer apparently doesn't follow: "Thirty days hath September..." :)

Didn't notice this thread until recently. I obtained a poster size version of the 1993 map during a tour of the South Station dispatch theater a few years ago. I scanned it with the large format scanner at my work and it has been at this link for a long time:
