@mft Well stated, couldn’t have said it any better myself. Now, just wait for the site monitor to jump on here and tell you how you’re wrong and how every decision made by management is flawless.
Amtrak for Metrolink is hiring I do 8 to 9 a day with 2 days off
Right on! More UP stories.
Where has disp 248 MSK been?
Trains used to be run with a target metric of the highest velocity possible, now they run based on available crew hours.
PSR has eviscerated UP's infrastructure to the point that they can no longer process trains at the last terminal, thus the need to slow roll them.
If you want to know one of the biggest contributing factors to empty shelves and inflation look no further than PSR related business practices.
I just witnessed a train that was supposed to terminate at it's destination terminal and was pushed thru because "yard can't take the train". The yard was damn near empty, but the local "super" didn't want to incur any dwell time. So UP customers were forced to wait even longer than normal just so a local super could make his numbers look good. That is NOT good business practice. The system is broken and we need to get back to serving this country and not meaningless metrics that manipulated in order to get your a-s slightly less ripped in your daily conference call
