I was reading the thread on good and bad shippers (RR's), and "slotracer" had stated the bad attitude of many Conrail crews. I was wondering if these guys are looking at their jobs being lost? Do I have this right?: .....Conrail is still actually a railraod company that owns track and structure, and has its own employees. NS and CSX own the engines and lease them to Conrail. The whole Conrail Shared Assets thing is able to be disolved 5 years after the takeover of Conrail, which is now, and that NS and CSX do want to take control over what's left of Conrail. If I'm right, then these guys are just waiting for their jobs to go up in smoke? Does their knowledge and experience of running trains in such congested areas like northern NJ and Detroit make them needed by NS/CSX? Have there been labor agreements where laid off railroad employees are given hiring preferentials at another railroad (not just because they have valuable RR experience, but that a rule forces another railroad to put them at the front of the hiring line because they are ex-employees of another RR? Thanks Jim
