Union Pacific executives Lance Fritz, Kenny Rocker, Eric Gehringer, and Bradley Moore have been ordered to appear for hearings concerning the increasing use embargoes to manage congestion. From 27 in 2017 to 886 so far in 2022. The Public Hearing will be held in Washington DC on December 13th and 14...

Wasn't some public money involved in the Alameda Corridor? Certainly it was a big benefit to the driving public as well as to BNSF and UP. And BNSF must have contributed too -- it had more to gain than UP. And didn't the railroads pay for all the major improvements in Kansas City? The Alameda Corri...

The biggest question if the members ratify the contract, is will it stem the tide of resignations. Already if a family member or friend asks a Union employee about working for a Class I carrier, they tend to do what ever they can to discourage them. Also people with experience are looking to move to...

The Unions tried to strike just one railroad, twenty some years ago, The companies response was for all the railroads to lockout everybody, so a selective strike won't work.

These days, when a Class I railroad orders a (for example) Wabtec ET44AC locomotive what is the difference between that railroad's ET44AC and any other Class I's ET44AC other than paint scheme? Normally it is minor things like type of seats and sometimes the weight. BNSF though buys ET44C4 locomoti...

Canadian Pacific subsidiaries in the US are not part of the National Carriers Conference bargaining process and their contract is not up for negotiation, so Amtrak could continue to run the Adirondack, and the Hiawathas. They might also be able to run the Empire Builder as far west as St. Paul, alth...

I have put this in discussions in other forums, but I think people need to understand the implications of demographics in this discussion. First the US working age population has been shrinking since 2007. It started slowly but is now accelerating. The working age (18 - 65) population this year is 4...

No idea man. Ask Fred Green. William W. Stinson was President and CEO of Canadian Pacific at the time that the line was sold to Iron Road in 1995. He was the CEO when the D&H was purchased in 1991. So CP owned the D&H before they sold the CAR. And before anyone blames him Fred Green did not...

Ask Fred Green.

The trains operated by CP and either KCS or BNSF carrying the Albertan Heavy Crude in the form of DRUbit have had their Hazard Category lowered, and so the trains no longer require Buffer Cars on either end.

Six former BNSF Dash-9-44CWs for the Arizona & California. Mixed BNSF numbers, numbered 4401 -4406 on the A&C.

But I close with holding that the Port of Lazaro Cardenas, MICH is a "pearl in the ocean" waiting to be harvested. If it can reasonably and practically become a port that maritime companies will feel comfortable calling at (safety; persons and cargo), then that will go a long way to allev...

Let's see the supply chain impacts with more government regulation, because they clearly have so many successes to point at....... right up there wth "French Military Victories".... Which French military victories do you mean. The Battle of Hanau, Battle of Lutzen, or the Battle of Bautze...

CP is clearly going to be the big loser with this acquisition as their manifest traffic is going to get brutalized. Not only do they lose all the CSX interchange traffic, but eventually, a lot of shippers currently using the NS, will switch to CSX served receivers, suppliers, transloaders , warehou...
