Station Service employees modeling uniforms, 2014.

For more than forty years, Amtrak has adjusted uniform design in response to employee input, fashion trends and new developments in the textile field. In the fall of 2013, approximately 5,700 Train Service, Onboard Service and Station Service employees were provided with a copy of the new Dress For Success uniform catalogue. It highlights a wide array of components that are available to employees, including required uniforms, optional accessories and expected grooming standards.

In the image above, male and female Station Service employees wear white, long sleeve dress shirts, navy blue button-down vests and navy blue pants. Depending on the weather and climate, employees might wear short sleeve dress shirts (in white or light blue), a short or long sleeve, light blue polo shirt or a navy blue cardigan. In 2014, new fashion-forward neckwear with a subtle Amtrak logo was distributed to employees. As can be seen in this image, the options include a necktie and ascot loop, available in rich burgundy or royal blue.
