Recently I made several trips on Amtrak in the Northeast Corridor.  More than a few of the on-board train personnel, i.e. train persons, conductors, etc., didn't seem to take much pride in their appearance.  One conductor looked like a slob, e.g. shirt tail hanging out, tie undone, uniform food stains, and significantly over weight. Amtrak has some great employees.  But many of them don't seem to take much pride in their work and themselves.   I grew up in Altoona, which was a crew change point for the 38 daily passenger trains that passed through Altoona when I was in high school.  Many of my friends fathers were passenger conductors and trainmen.  They took noticeable price in their work and their appearance.  I don't see that in Amtrak's employees, but maybe I am over reacting to a few bad apples.    I would be interest in hearing what others have to say regarding this issue.
