Casey Jones you'd better, watch your speed...     "The railroad is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week operation", many of us have been told, when requesting some extra 'rest' between jobs. Unfortunately, the people that make the railroad move, like all other people, do not operate "24 hours a day, 7 days a week".     Anyone who's worked around the clock has either seen, or experienced first-hand, the inevitable effects of sleep deprivation. Maybe it was you, maybe it was the jitney driver, maybe it was....     The real fun is when someone tries to explain to the crew-caller that they are too tired to go to work.

People don't get away with anything more out there than anywhere else. They discipline and put people on the street just like other yards, and YOU KNOW THIS! Grow up retard! View This Article

Name: hoyer E-mail: Employed as: Conductor, for 10-20 years Posted: 18 May 2013 If anyone wants to get away with breaking rules.Try the Great Lakes Division in northeast OHIO. At CP 128 to CP 130 Ashtabula, Ohio. I have seen plenty of rule breaking violations that go on all the time.They have 1 yard job and 3 local jobs and Anything GOES!!! Cleveland,Ohio might switch tag from time to time but that's it.But if you work in Ashtabula,Ohio there are no rules there at all.It's a free for all.Guys riding tank cars on shoves,no stretching after a tie is made,getting on and off moving equipment,never doing any safety stops,they walk behind cars all the time to open up the knuckle,never asking for 3 step protection,they throw switches all day never once looking at the switch points.It's crazy and the train master there doesn't even got out and watch his employees,so he doesn't have to discipline them for what there are doing.It's all about the money out there and that yard makes a lot of MONEY.So rule breaking is OK it makes the train master look good,profit wise to CSX. If CSX would go out there and see what is really going on,that yard would be SHUT DOWN PERIOD. View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Train Dispatcher, for 1-10 years Posted: 15 May 2013 The difference is, RailRoad has a Monopoly on hauling coal. Trucks cannot move coal is large enough quantities to meet a plant's needs. Inter-modal is a business with massive growth potential. But you are directly competing with Truck Load rates so your margins are going to be lower. You have to make your money on this with volume. Another important thing to remember, hauling those heavy coal loads puts more stress on those engines, burns more fuel, and puts more wear and tare on the track. The lighter inter-modal loads run faster, with less fuel, less wear on the engine, and less wear on the track. View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 20 April 2013 Think about this. Turnover= quick dime vs slow quarter. Freight rate is less, but the movement is not there for a long time. The space is consistent. Now what? View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: APE, for 20-30 years Posted: 18 April 2013 the question about the low intermodal profit margin reminds me about the old Chevy Vega......GM were able to make a very high quality Vega, for about 30k a car, that was competitive with the Corolla in initial quality. What Toyota could do, and GM could not, was to make a high quality 3K car. Now, can CSX develop a management capable of meeting UPS and Schneider standards without spending excessive money? It has not so far. Otherwise you keep the low margins. View This Article

Name: Retired FRA Inspector E-mail: Employed as: Friend or family of employee, for Less than 1 year Posted: 17 April 2013 Conrail also claimed to have a low profit margin for intermodal business. But they sure pushed it! I would guess that the rates stay low in order to compete with the highways. And corporate America will do anything for a dime. View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 17 April 2013 Ok I agree 14% of the rent and 38% of the space. Now what? Do you want to throw them out and seek a new renter, or raise the rent? ______________________________________________________________________ Employed as: APE, for 10-20 years Posted: 12 April 2013 Let's review these notes from the Annual Report of CSX, Page 3. The merchandise business shipped nearly 2.7 million carloads and generated approximately 57% of revenue and 42% of volume in 2012. The coal business shipped 1.3 million carloads and acounted for nearly 27% of revenue and 20% of volume in 2012. The intermodal business accounted for approximately 14% of revenue and 38% of volume in 2012. I don't know about y'all, but if I had a roommate that was only coughing up 14% of the rent- they sure wouldn't be taking up 38% of the space. Let's just say- considering all the investments made to support this low-margin business- what else is going on? The numbers just don't make sense. View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Locomotive Engineer, for 30+ years Posted: 12 April 2013 APE 1 yr and Nasty, Unfortunate is the fact that there are bad apples in ANY industry, however that being said I don't believe the casual and outside look you present here represents Union Officers as a whole. Most aren't "in it for themselves" as you claim. Most are in the job to better the working conditions for the membership PERIOD. Perhaps if you had more time on the railroad and didn't look at only what you want to believe and are fed by our wonderful media, and took the time to show up at your local union meeting you might start to view otherwise. Biased Opinions such as yours presented here are nothing more than baseless misinformed bullshit and serve to do nothing else than prove how baseless and misinformed you are about what REALLY goes on in the union world. Try stepping up and serving others than yourself, do that and then you might have a reason or rationale for some of what you espouse, until then you're nothing other than a company troll on this site.
