Group - Following is off subject, but seeing as this Group includes a
number of retired railroaders, mostly off the Q/BN/BNSF, who remain
interested in current day railroading, but do not have access to the
railroad trade media, I submit the following concerning the on-going "melt down"
at CSX:
May be when Hunter is done "derailing" CSX, BNSF can swoop in and merge
what's left of the property that's still profitable.... CSX has a large
presence in Mobile, AL, just across the Bay from Fairhope, and I've been
hearing horror stories from career railroad employees I know over there.
I've read Railway Age longer than I've read TRAINS (50 years-plus) and I've
never seen a piece like this. At least CSX's arch competitor NS is presently
staying on track. Best Regards - Louis
