>>1630142PSR shenanigans.
We've had trains tied down on the mains in Cheyenne for over a week. One loses a motor. It steals a motor from another to get moving. Train 2 sits until another train can be robbed. So on and so on.
Haven't seen this much foreign power since early 2018. Though car loadings are way down since then, and we run fewer trains. Trains are late out of North Platte by 12 to 24 hours. As they wait for power. NORTH FUCKING PLATTE!
Nothing is maintained. Just run it till it breaks for good. Furlough all the carmen and diesel mechanics.
Only allow 85 octane gas in the work trucks. Blow the motors and throw them away. Rent trucks from hertz for more than buying and servicing.
The boards are all shot all the time. Yet no hiring, borrow outs, or zone transfers.
If it isn't UPS. It will just get there, eventually.
Coal is a loser. Nothing is going to change that. I haven't seen a military special train in a couple years. We used to have them several times a month. Not any wind mill trains since 19. Which is odd because hundreds of the damn things have gone up with in sight of the mains.
