What action is taken once the train crew has lifted all tickets in their area of responsibility?

When the train crew has lifted all tickets in their area of responsibility, they typically perform a station sweep. This action involves a thorough check of the entire train to ensure all tickets have been collected and to account for the presence of remaining passengers. The station sweep is crucial for verifying that all passengers who have boarded the train are captured correctly in the ticketing system, which aids in managing revenue and ensuring compliance with Amtrak's policies.

This action not only ensures that all tickets are accounted for but also prepares the train for the next station stop, maintaining operational efficiency. By conducting a station sweep, the crew can identify any discrepancies in ticket collection and resolve issues promptly. This proactive measure enhances overall service quality and helps maintain the integrity of the ticketing process.
