For our first day at RailCamp, we headed over to the Amtrak Training Center in Wilmington, DE. There, we did all sorts of cool things. We talked to actual Amtrak instructors and employees about their experiences, used the locomotive & dispatch simulators, and even got a demonstration/tour of P42 locomotive #23. It was an awesome day, and one that we will not soon forget.
I'd like to thank Amtrak for continuing to support the NRHS RailCamp program. It is an incredible experience for us campers, and one that we are very appreciative and grateful for each and every day.
Enjoy!

I’m so jealous you were able to have that experience, especially driving the simulation and operating the actual controls. Wish I done the camp but couldn’t afford it.

That's pretty awesome. I compare this schooling to pilot school, and it just seems so much better becoming a conductor than it does trying to be a pilot nowadays. To become a pilot you need years of training, by the end you'll have 6 figures in loans and you start out at almost minimum wage; comparatively to a conductor the schooling is free and you get paid for it, it's very very short and afterwards you earn a middle class income right out of the gate (not to mention not needing to worry about 3 dimensions), it's just a financial no brainer if you can get in.

Hi how long do you have to wait for a interview after the online assessment, mentioned in the other video does getting the online test guaranteed a high chance of a interview

Do you have to be a certain age to do this and how often is this camp thing?

@Zeffers716 6 жыл бұрын

Yes. It is for high school students. There are two sessions (East and Northwest) that each run once per year.

What’s railcamp

@inactive-subscribetocoloni8066 6 жыл бұрын

MeeperMcFive Every summer there’s a camp you can spend a week at down in Delaware and see all this stuff. I think it’s about $1500

MeeperMcFive If you're a railfan and between 14 and 18 years old, it is heaven. It is hosted by the NRHS and sponsored primarily by Amtrak. There are 2 camps, both of which I've been to. The first, RailCamp Northwest is based in Tacoma, WA and you visit places such as Seattle's King Street Station and Amtrak facility, Northwest Railroad Museum, and Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad. The second is this one, RailCamp East. I won't reveal anything about it as Zeffers716 will do so as more videos are released. As a matter of fact, he and I went to both the same RailCamp Northwest and East sessions.
