Total number of Metra TY&E employees?
A guesstimate on Metra TY&E employees nearing retirement?
Total number of Metra locomotive engineers?
Most favored (highest seniority) Metra assignments?
I appreciate any information.

All I have is some BNSF guesstimates...

BNSF TY&E in Suburban Service about 90 trainman and 30 engineers. Best assignments are probably 1208, 1212, 1220 & 1224.
