    Yes, they are making cuts. We lost a few through freight trains each day, and they are minimizing OT our local coal trains. There is talk of shutting down one of our branch lines and a satellite yard of ours. If they do that, I will be lucky to hold one of our pool jobs as a conductor. 11 years in I am halfway on the seniority roster, and even good seniority doesnt guarantee you much.

    Who are you with?

    We have a stacked AW board and a short Furlough list, but I hear more are coming. Longer trains and shorter pool turns and extra boards right now, hoping it gets better tho, I don’t want to get cut back to the ground

    It’s PSR, they’re trying to kill the industry it seems, UP is losing business while BNSF has increased theirs.
