Thread regarding Norfolk Southern Corp. layoffs

Anyone heard of any updated rumors regarding potential locomotive shop closings???

You can of course, expect nothing good to come out of the upcoming "Town Hall Meeting" on the 16th.

SCX is closing in Oct. Of course it's just what I have been hearing on Peachtree Street.

Supervisors at most points are about to take on more clerk duties. Also NS is supervisor heavy.

Well they have just about ran out of ideas to get the OR below .60 so it would not be surprising to see repair shops sold, yards sold off and more layoffs. Norfolk Southern only mission is to pull main line loads. They are not in the repair business or program work because thar costs money. They along with all other Class 1s have gotten the AAR to change rules regarding off air time and unit trains so they don't have to inspect them. That alone should tell you where this is going
