At Washington Union Station, Assistant Conductor Jamel Williams helps a passenger board the Vermonter early one morning. The conductor and assistant conductor are responsible for the safe movement and operation of the train, the collection and protection of Amtrak ticket revenue, the conduct of the operating and on-board service crews, the boarding and detraining of passengers and the assignment of passenger accommodations.
"I love the people. I focus on safety and customer service, including helping passengers with their bags and making sure they are careful. I feel like this is a job to be proud of," says Williams.
The Vermonter is financed primarily through funds made available by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the Connecticut Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
