Re: PHOTOS: Acela II at Penn Coach Yard Thursday

I remember right before Amtrak left GCT there were 4 red caps. They were Amtrak employees but they helped anyone who needed help as in to/from Amtrak/Metro-North trains or anyone who needed help with bags coming off the cab stand or the Shuttle passageway. Occasionally someone in a wheelchair would need a push up the big ramp when their train came in on one of the loop tracks. An Amtrak redcap (when available) would be there when the conductor would call ahead on the radio to have the train met. They cleaned up with tips big time.
I don't know what they do in GCT nowadays if someone needs help coming off a MN train.
