Does anyone know about employment with CalTrain? I will be moving back to the Bay Area this May and I want to try and hire on with CalTrain.

Thanks in advance!

I think Caltrain's TY&E people are Amtrak employees. There are a few Caltrain engineers on www.trainorders.com that you can contact also and they would be able to tell you more.

You're right CalTrain crews are actually employed by Amtrak and under contract to CalTrain.

We are indeed employed by Amtrak under contract to Caltrain, the contract has been extended for three more years with a two year option. You can find out about job opprotunities on Caltrain, by checking out http://www.teamrewards.net/amtrak and check for listings under San Jose, CA.
