<p>I don't thnk micromanagement is limited to just NS folks. I do know that they are very safety conscious over there, which leads to them winning Harriman awards. Part of the corporate culture they inherited from the Southern is efficiency, and getting the most out of their employees and equipment while doing it safely is what makes them a leading railroad here.</p><p>I talked with a local trainmaster here who put it best: "Darn right I hide out in the weeds. I'm safety conscious. That's MY railroad out there and those are MY dividends adding to my retirement."</p><p>As near as I can tell, they set high standards and keep them. But in listening to the pros from other railroads here and elsewhere, those standards of operation and behavior are not much different. When you are dealing with megatonnage of mobile freight, a second or third set of eyes is not a bad thing to have around.</p><p> </p>
