On B&O, a swing man was used in the yard if that yard had alot of clear tracks; the s.m. was there to tie brakes on cars. On road jobs, Engr and Cond. do it. In the yard (this is CSX) there are a few jobs left with Engr, Foreman, and switchman. My yard job is just me (engineer) and a foreman. That isn't cheap enough, so let's get rid of me and bring on the box. Eventually, there will be single-man assignments...with a box.
