MORE INFO FROM THE CSX ROUNDHOUSE
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 13, 2003 4:25 PM
WELL HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THE LATEST INFO ON A RUMOR ABOUT CSX BEING BOUGHT OUT. I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND OF MINE ON THE TRACK DEPARTMENT AND HE SHOWED ME AN INTERESTING MEMO HE RECIEVED FROM HIS BOSS WHO RECIEVED IT FROM THE HEAD OF NORTHEAST TRACK MAINTENANCE IN JACKSONVILLE. THE MEMO BASICALLY STATED THE ON ALL COMPANY OWNED VEHICLES REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS RESCHEDULED FROM EVERY 10,000 MILES TO EVERY 20,000 MILES AND OIL CHANGES AND ALL OIL CHANGES ON COMPANY VEHICLES WERE CHANGED FROM EVERY 4,000 MILES TO EVERY 8,000 MILES. WE ALSO RECIEVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM PAYROLL 2 WEEKS AGO STATEING THAT OUR COMPANY STOCK PURCHASE OPTION WAS POSTPONED INDEFINITELY. A BUNCH OF US LOOKED UP OUR STOCK ON THE INTERNET AND THE DATE THIS TOOK EFFECT WE ALL NOTICED THAT OUR STOCK WAS INCREASING IN PRICE ALMOST IDENTICALLY TO ANOTHER MAJOR RAILROADS STOCK. ALL THE GUYS I HAVE WORKED WITH HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WHEN CONRAIL WAS DISECTED SO VICIOUSLY BY NS AND CSX. HMMMM

Don't type in all caps - it is a PITA to read.
