Yeah, I'm not buying it. Why would not 1 but 2 SP RFR's risk their careers by "qualifying" someone on a stretch of a foreign railroad upon which they had no authority to do? It was Amtrak's responsibility to inform BN/BNSF that they would need to provide a pilot for the the train - either in the form of an engineer or an RFE.
