Thread regarding BNSF Railway layoffs

Corporate leaving and going to shortlines

Matt Igoe- number 2 BNSF to RJ Corman
Colby Tanner -BNSF Executive Officer to OmniTrax
Tammy Middleton - chief BNSF Chief Legal Executive and executive officer -appointed to OmniTrax Chief Legal Officer

Top 3 under Katie Farmer all to shortlines in less than a year, all of which have either taken over BNSF mechanical facilities or TY&E terminals, or in OmniTrax took over facilities only to have BNSF come in later and take them back over due to substandard maintenance and Inspections

Starting to see a pattern, of which history repeats itself, when OmniTrax came in significant cuts were made to BNSF system wide with a 10 year hiring freeze in mechanical, of which led to understaffing, increase in injuries, and foreman hiding in bushes to watch mechanical until a safety rule was violated so everyone was on a level S until they decided to terminate an employee for minor infractions, so everyone was walking on eggshells

@st not rumored. Did you see his letter?
Almost all of it was quoted by trains.com

It’s been rumored the new ceo of Berkshire Hathaway is most displeased with Bnsf management. Maybe they are getting while the getting is good

Firing of seasoned tech professionals and exodus of business experts. I'm packing my bags as well.

Watco ran the Pacific Sun in So Cal, and Mission Mountain (Kalispell Local) in MT for a number of years. But the contract expired on both and BNSF came back in to run the line. I’m sure the different industries on the Kalispell local would much rather have MMT operating the line over BNSF!
