Hi Everyone,

Here's a quick question. I know alot of railroads shut down on Christmas Day. Wondering if Pan Am follows suit? I think they would have to have at least a skeleton crew around- both the MBTA and the Amtrak "Downeaster" operate limited schedules today, so I would think that there are some dispatchers on duty in Districts 3 and 2. Not sure if the usual Ayer Auto and Intermodal trains are operating today as well.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all- and thank you to all as well for your posts throughout the year...

-Mike

Most jobs are cancelled for major holidays like Christmas. Some of the high priority jobs will usually still run, but most are cancelled.

Switching jobs are still going on, like Rumford, Me for instance.
