it is well known that csx is on the FRAs watch list as far as thier tracks go... but when you pay out 43 million to Mr snow... the money has to come from someones budget

That is so aggravating. Yes, it was perfectly legal the way corporations work pay package contracts out for executives, but, IMHO, that is absolutely ridiculous. Makes me wonder how many safety related repairs could have been done with even half that money! Or providing the service employees needed at strategic locations to make sure that toilets in locomotives are properly sanitized!

And the CSX brass today still keeps crying that it doesn't even have money to paint that bridge in Kentucky that the residents have been complaining about.


well painting a bridge for pure looks just to make a town happy is a waste of money.... if they dont like it.. pay for it themselves....csx is a comp that is to make money...not please town folk that are POed becouse they dont like the way something looks...
