According to railnews there is a total of 3 shops closing this summer.
Conway is Here to stay!
Altoona stays.
Anybody hear about Baltimore being sold or leased?Big rumor down here.
As long as trains are run over the mountain, there will be a mechanical department. As far as the shops, who knows. Not entirely sure they provide any more than a contractor could, bit that could be said about any shop really. Altoona is also a major recrew spot, it would take some major restructuring, but not impossible to eliminate T&E.
So does that mean just the shops or T&E to?
Here to confirm both rumors. Conway is closing as well as Altoona. NS is looking to give the work to contractors in the future. It’s a new age of railroading.
No. Thats Conway
