Any big benefits going from BNSF or any freight railroad to Amtrak?

I was offered a Motor Equipment Operator position with Amtrak. I currently work Intermodal with big orange. It would be a pay cut but I hear working for commuter is better than freight. Pretty much same benefits. I'm just curious if anyone can tell me more about the position and what a typical day is like working as a Motor Equipment Operator for Amtrak.

I tried asking in the weekly hiring thread for the past couple of weeks but I got no response.

Edit: Just looking for more of a general outlook of going from freight to commuter.
