    Safety is Amtrak’s top priority. On this National Dog Day, we paws and recognize all the K-9 officers of the Amtrak Police Department. 👮♂️ 🐶 👮♀️ Alongside their human handlers, these dogs work tirelessly to protect Amtrak customers, trains and stations. Special training turns already keen noses into danger detection devices and creates expert tracking skills. The four-legged members of Amtrak’s K-9 unit act to safeguard their partners and the public. Thank you for your strength, agility and courage on the job. Show our K-9 officers a round of a-pawse in the comments.  👏

    Assistant Production Engineer - TLS

    Amtraks Track Laying System (TLS) unit has completed 37 of 43 miles of full Track Renewal (concrete ties/CWR) on Amtraks Philadelphia to Harrisburg Line. This major accelerated program for FY24 is progressing nicely. This job is very unique in regards to working outages that have allowed this extensive, much needed rehabilitation in a short period of time. Tremendous daily coordination with other Production Groups, Freight Railroads and our own freight service group coordinating new/old tie exchange, ballast trains and nightly freight, servicing there customers has been challenging but seemless, while still operating Amtrak Revenue service. We have a great team of Senior Management, Field Managment, Supervisors and agreement employees seeing this project through. With the vast expertise and knowledge of each individual, we operate as a well oiled machine! I am happy to be a part of this project and see it through. I am even more excited to getting closer to homebase! These particular pictures are at Hillsdale Rd UGBR, approximately 2 miles east of Roy Interlocking. Amtrak

The Carver Vocational Technical School is located in West Baltimore, where we are making significant strides with the Frederick Douglass Tunnel Program. This program is not just about enhancing infrastructure but also about investing in the community and the future of the area. At Amtrak, we are committed to supporting local communities and fostering talent that will drive the future of rail travel. We look forward to continuing these efforts and working closely with the bright young minds of Baltimore.
