CSX is going to decentralize the Jacksonville, FL office by sending a number of desks to different locations as follows: The former Detroit Division, now incorporated into the Chicago Division will be relocated to Chicago, IL and work out of the same office as the current CSX Chicago dispatchers. This building is also where IHB has dispatchers. The Great Lakes Division is being consolidated in Indianapolis and several of the desks that dispatch out of JAX will move north, mainly the Chicago Line between Willard and Chicago. The Baltimore Division dispatchers will relocate to Albany, NY. I don't know the exact number of desks for dispatchers it will affect. However, this is a big shake up for Jacksonville and right now nothing is finalized as to when or how the move will be made. Apparently the Board of Trustees didn't like last year's hurricane outbreak and its effect on Florida. The decision was made to decentralize to protect the railroad from a catastrophic failure of the entire system due to a natural disaster or terrorist attack. This way all the eggs are not in one basket so to speak. <br /> <br /> Luckily for myself it may help my cause to be in Indianapolis as not everyone will follow the jobs out of Jacksonville and may provide more job opportunities for those of us up north. I just really feel bad for the folks in Jacksonville who have to suffer through a major disruption.
