CAL & Amtrack code share
According to the CAL routemap, thers's some sort of rail codeshare between Wilmington DE / PHL and NYC.

Does anyone know if a CAL crewmember can "jumpseat" and get a train ride to EWR?
Thanks,
Riddler

That's funny. I called Amtrak last night to inquire about that very route and found that no airline bennies apply. You can get a 10 trip pass (to be used within 45 days) for $565 or a $1271 "Smart Pass" (unlimited monthly riding). I thought about asking if they'd be interesed in signing up for CAASS.
Click on the link, scroll down and click on Northeast Corridor 1. Tons of departures to and from your locations.

I'd love to take it to get to work though. Jumpseating can be stressful sometimes.

If you are lucky sometimes the conductors will "forget" to collect any money from you on the train. I have had this happen occasionally. If you are in uniform and just get on the train you have about a 50/50 shot of having this happen.
