Generally no one other than crew is allowed on the Cab. As a passenger being granted permission is near ZERO.
Permission can be granted in some situations. For example a documentary Maker. A travel Journalist. To get permission you would need to contrat AMTRAK giving your reasons and they will decide.
Just for the view sorry just one the things being the Engineer gets you.I assume you are aware changing times have made this a security issue for obvious reasons.
