Well, they just shut down the shop in Hamlet, NC. Quite a few people out of work in such a small town.

Does someone have a list of all CSX yards? Please share if you do!

I got the Saturday date from management here. Also there is no bids. ID runs back to divisional. Added bids to Evansville and Atkinson. Not sure what else is in the works but as of Saturday no transportation will be working out of Casky.

Big shop on the chopping block. The word is there will be a closure of some locomotive repair facilities and re-opening of another.

When is CSX going to wise up and start firing General Car Foremen? It is perhaps THE most useless and unnecessary position in management and they should all be forced back into walking cars or just let go entirely.

CSX management is getting what they deserve. Falsly charging employees and firing them to make quota, i shed no tear. I hope the management cuts run so deep there is only 1 tm per 100 mi of track

In the late 1980's, CSX purchased and closed the old L & N shop in Louisville. My family got transferred to Corbin, but some of my uncles and their families were not as fortunate. Then over 200 men and women were laid off in Oct. 2015 in Corbin... — read more
