Yes. Normally the host railroad will provide an Engineer to accompany the Amtrak Engineer in the cab. Sometimes the host railroad also may provide a locomotive if any special PTC interfaces are required on the route that is peculiar to the host railroad and not available on an Amtrak loco.I'm curious. When the EB builder or any of the other LD trains is rerouted such as this was, does another engineer need to ride along or does the original engineer know the alternate routes as well?
