For about 15 years, Amtrak operating crews where supplied by the railroads that passed off their public responsibilities. <br /> <br />Those operating employees that came from the freight railroads that cast-off thier responsibilities have a hire date, if its better than your's, guess you're below them. <br /> <br />As with any merger, those with hire dates as Amtrak employees, would simply dovetail into the apropreate place with post Amtrak hired freight railroad employees. <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV MP 236 <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, Jim, as Brother CSX Engineer correctly points out, there was a cut off date on the ability of freight railroad employees who opted to go into Amtrak service to flow back to their original railroads. My understanding is that employees who went to Amtrak from the freight railroads surrendered their right to flow back on that date which is now past. Thus, the flow back is no longer an option. <br /> <br />LC
