On Dec. 7, a U.S. District Court judge issued a nationwide stay of an Executive Order requiring government contractors to adopt COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The ruling prompted BNSF, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific to halt their mandates on Dec. 8. But Amtrak did not—at first. As Railway Age reported, Amtrak wrote in a Dec. 9 employee memo: “While Amtrak acknowledges this [court] decision, the company also affirms its right to have its own policy in place.

Accordingly, Amtrak’s vaccination mandate deadline remains Jan. 4, 2022.”
