Your  worth is whatever someone else is willing to pay for you. So your average NHL hockey player is "worth more" than Stephen Hawking, the world's most renowned cosmologist and mathematician. EHH is worth a few thousand locomotive engineers.. it is what it is. No point in trying to make sense of it.

I thought they (CSX) could just raise their rates, pocket 400 million pizoozas and fork 'em over to Ole E. Hunter.  Simple!

Lets see 400,000,000 divided by 10,000 engineers and conducters who make 80,000.00 a year. How is he worth more then 2,000 locomotives?

 

They're getting it from people like YOU who don't have a real good grasp of how math worksMischief..........or spelling or grammar for that matter.Whistling

Another round of massive furloughs, selling off of equipment and pocketing the money, denying valid claims of those left working.  Should be getting close to that total.

AC locomotives are in the ballpark of $2M - so you are talking 200 locomotives for $400M

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
