BNSF cuts 89 jobs in Burlington

Burlington, Iowa, Dec. 4 - Burlington Northern Santa Fe has announced 89
jobs are cut from the West Burlington Shops. The cuts are part of the
company's plan to consolidate its locomotive overhaul to Topeka, Kansas.
Employees from the shops in Southeast Iowa will be offered new positions in
Topeka. BNSF officials say they've purchased large numbers of new
locomotives which require less maintainance.
They say the demand for heavy repair work has declined and two shops are no
longer needed. Last year, 248 jobs were cut from the West Burlington Shops
during talks of possible consolidations with Topeka.
