I was on a bike ride with my daughter last week- parallels the short-line track of the mmrr/csx here- and we stopped to watch one coming by. They stopped to drop-off a box car at the spur we were next to and the conductor came up to me and started a conversation (it was an RC consist with both the engineer and conductor wearing packs). <br />He said 'hard to believe we control trains by remote control nowadays, huh?' <br />I said 'I heard one-man crews are in your future' <br />He says 'yeah, I've heard that too. Anything to make our job harder' <br />I said 'I would think the union would have something to say about that' <br />He says 'the union brought it to the table' <br /> <br />So- there are 2 unions, right? <br />Which is he referring to? <br /> <br />Sorry if this is basic- i'm kinda confused by it.
