Default NS Harrisburg Division

Guys and Gals, is there any truth to NS abolishing the Buffalo Line desk and dishing it to Harrisburg East and Southern Tier?

Some thought we were joking about these "auditors" and "hit squads" moving around and taking notes. They did and there reports have been in now for a short time. You will start seeing the rewards of their duty soon! Yup, no one claimed these are smart moves.

I've been told that most of these moves aren't permenant, but I've been out here long enough to know that when the railroads see they can make a change by limiting, they will keep it in effect no matter what. it takes an act of God to make them backpedal and they won't do it willingly.

This week it was made apparent that several changes are coming.

I was told that many more changes will continue to come and that some places will see major changes.

lolz @ the chiefs. I always called them the Monkeys in the glass cage.. anyone who has been to East Waynes Dispatch office knows what Im talking about. I hate the hear this though... I always liked and got along with 99% of all the dispatchers in there. Im wondering if one of the trainees is a guy from down the road.. he got hired in not to long ago. I know he was pretty stoked about getting the job.. haven't talked to him for awhile though.... his name is Ben

I wonder if that one dispatcher trainee was let go in Ft Wayne...he was cubbing on the New Castle side and always sounded as though he was reading cue cards for every radio transmission.
