Yeah, Mud, I think that the 'ol Santa Flush shop was purchased in the Abex or early ABC days. When you drive by the ABC plant in Pueblo now, you hardly see any activity there after 4:00p. We used to work tons of O/T, 3 shifts 7 days a week. Man it was beautiful! Now, first shift only (I think) and very few weekends. 80% of our work was for the Yellow boys, and the plant scoffed at BN stuff. Now it is mostly BN. In the early 90's they pissed off the Eastern roads. The management thought that they had the market cornered with a "take it, or leave it attitude." Now they are begging for orders and 'ol Uncle Pete is shifting their orders to Progress Scab rail. That place used to be able to make a guy a good living and was fun to work at. Get off at 10:00 (if you werent on O/T) and go across the hiway to the Beer Barrel and throw dice after work. Not any more! The guys that went back are scraping to make ends meet. Meridian really made things better. "Meridian," sounds like a phone company name, not a trackproducts manufacturer. <br />later, Ken
