I had heard the EB hump at N.Platte was closed but is now open again. What about some of the other yards? Proviso? Is Roseville hump open? I would think Hinkle and Pine Bluff are lost forever. What about your area yard? Any news on closings, reopenings, ect..

Type Global 1 in search engine of UP website. Sales and marketing sent a nice letter to premium customers on Nov. 30 stating Global 1 will close in 60 days. Union is playing dumb and labor relations is playing dumber
The correct hump
Number it 2500 to 3000 currently only the best yard on the system does that consistently. North Little Rock
Unless a hump can process 1500-2000 a day they will not be utilized. Flat switching in yards that were never set up to switch in, and then having a manager threaten to cut jobs when it doesn’t work is the new normal. Switch crews don’t get any relief on rules or processes to make things work just threats and intimidation.
They’re calling back furloughed managers to distribute hot dogs on dodge street
I have heard they dumped lots of money into Hinkle , tie and switch projects. Also have been hearing the powers that be are not happy with Albina as far as work getting done.
Per a financial call that hump yrd in north platte will close again after some short term construction project takes place
Yeah, ok.
The guys in north platte stick together and they the RR were shown that the east hump was needed. This ain’t Canada we Americans stick together.
Closing down humps to pay for the free hot dog feeds and I’m ok with that
