    VIA Rail Canadian and the Canadians 2025

    Not for that train. The same equipment will turn. May be a few hours late for servicing and crew rest...

    Red Cap cart falls on track and passengers at Union Station in Chicago

    It’s been a long time since I was down there, but I don’t think there is an easy access from the lower level to the station level for any type of machinery.

    They absolutely do for NEC trains in coach.

    Doors didn't open (an Amtrak story...) :)

    It is the train crew responsibility to ensure doors are open at every stop.

    None. You can transfer to another Crew Base or acccept a furlough if there are no other OBS positions in that Crew Base you are qualified for or wish to train for.

    New train (40-41 Floridian) between Miami and Chicago via Washington DC

    The OBS contracts have no provision/protection whatsoever. Amtrak is free to schedule staffing wherever they wish, and the OBS employees have to adapt accordingly.
