Happy Retirement Joe B!
Today, February 3rd, 2025 marks the end of an era. Amtrak's Assistant Superintendent of Operations out of Boston Joe Burgess retired today after 41 years of service. Joe's career started on the Battenkill, before moving onto the D&H, then the B&M, and eventually Amtrak. Here he his posed in front of his caboose, the NYC 21052, on track 3 at Southampton St Yard in Boston. To briefly summarize Joe's leadership and personality, his retirement party had hundreds of attendees ranging from colleagues, family and friends, to fellow sailors from Joe's time in the Navy and everyone in between. Find me another railroad manager that can draw that kind of crowd! So all in all, thanks Joe for being such a great supervisor and friend, enjoy your retirement!
