Things to come Brothers.
Physically, you can’t run as many
trains as they’re running now with the workforce they have. It’s
structurally impossible,” Finnson said. “We have a chronic shortage of
workers.”
CP cut its unionized workforce by 1,500 people or approximately
one-third under Harrison, who ran the company from mid-2012 until he
stepped down in January to pursue the top job at Florida-based railway
CSX Corp.

Really? In disguise? The hedge fund leader is the new CEO!
To think that HH gives a damn about the future of CSX is
ignorant at best. He cares about himself and short term gains.
After all he has one foot in the grave already. Why would he really
care about long term? This amounts to no more than legalized robbery!
If the man had any morals at all he would be home petting his horses
on the ass and baby sitting a classic car collection while counting
the millions and millions of dollars he all ready stole. Sick little
men act like this and greedy Americans follow like puppy dogs!

Come on people this is just a hedge fund in disguise. Just like 7 or 8
years ago when they tried this shit but Ward and Co took the money and
ran this time.

Everyone knows what opinions are.....everybody has one.
What's the point of posting any decent/helpful advice on this site?
Seems no one pays attention anyway.
If management, office rats are sweating now, well, that's what they
too should've expected might happen eventually when they chose that
type of position. Account the way a lot of those people have acted,
no one should feel sorry for them.
Overall operations may\will change. Corporate can try to trim all
fat,
jobs, whatever they deem necessary or can, to increase share value,
please wall st. per se.
This outfit isn't ever going to be employee, family friendly.
Hope too many don't become gullible & ignorant enough to think they'd
be OK with more RTW laws.

Buy Buy Buy CSX Stock! Ride the HH wagon to the bank and then dump
all CSX Stock in about 3.5 years. That's what he will do. He will
make a nice dime right before he runs this RR in the ground. They
don't give a shit about the future of this company just the NOW!
Look what's he's doing to the intermodal giving it away to NS and
back to the truckers. This guy HH is a fucken NUT!

They hollered at me at the REDI for not using the handrail on the steps.
I'm still trying to get over it. Hollering at a 40 year old for not
touching handrails SMDH !!!

What is happening at the Redi Center? Any word? I figured that place
would be high on the list to be shut down.

Witnesed first hand the SC DISPATCHER in Nashville fuck up and not
give
a southbound HD crew an ec-1 for a 25 mph around Ekin mile post. He
comes on the radio and says after they've knocked down the southward
Amqui signal .......hey can you guys just slow your speed down to
about
25 mph for the next few miles account rough track......Are you fucking
kidding me.....have a train crew miss that speed order and bam! They
on the street. Garbage ass dispatching. Ol HH will weed their asses
out
soon enough.
10-20 Years? How have you survived this long without a basic
understanding of how things work? A dispatcher taking a slow order
from MOW can't be expected to instantly know where a train is, cannot
merely knock down every absolute signal until he knows either. Cannot
give a signal if an unbulletined order exists when requesting the
signal. We're better off not becoming cannibals attacking other union
brothers. You need to consider that dispatchers & yardmasters are
having additional work out upon them without any additional
compensation. I have seen every desk I deal with doubled in
responsibility since I started. The yardmaster situation is even
worse. While some RFE's were drones, many I encountered were decent
guys just trying to doma job per F RA and company rules. It is my
understanding that the RFE's who were not shifted into Trainmaster
slots were not given anything, merely left to look for a place to work.
Stranded, some far away from their seniority, with houses and families
to move. We need to consider who the real enema is here.

The Florence Division Manager hit the road this morning.
Larry Kostner was supposed to be one of the Corridor General Managers,
guess he decided he didn't like the way ole HH was running things, or
he didn't appreciate being forced to fire managers like he was being
forced to by Jax.
The bad thing is, he was actually one of the better managers around
