Does anyone know how many trains on CSX are crewed by Baltimore based crews? I have read elsewhere that a good number of road trains that used to be crewed out of Baltimore are now home-crewed out of Philly and Cumberland. I saw on their website that CSX is looking to hire 20 - 30 conductors for Baltimore. Is Baltimore that busy that 20 - 30 new conductors are needed? I know that they have a few yards they service, but I wasn't sure about road trains. I appreciate any responses.
The Baltimore Crews are used for Baltimore-Philadelphia runs and Baltimore-Richmond runs. Runs between Cumberland and Baltimore are filled by Cumberland based crews. Runs between Richmond and Philadelphia are filled by Richmond based crews.
Baltimore based crews fill all yard assignments at Bayview, Locust Point and Curtis Bay yards. CSX crews no longer staff the MARC commuter trains that operate on CSX.
