...about Norfolk Southern, AKA:LAMCO, or "Snippy's" favorite Class-I outfit! (And Cy's tu. Maybe Pipeses as well. They all ove LAMCO!)

Damn, the shit just continues rolling on... And more workers are left out in the cold without work, or pay checks. Christmas looks mighty grim this year for West "By Gawd" Vagina!

I can't specifically say anything about recent practices, being blissfully retired and all, but I didn't see it in past practices.

In the city here, I've NEVER seen CSX pull a train up and swap out, they always tie it down, and it sits clogging up the world. I could go on and on.

Hopple Street, Pipes, they used to be tied down there all the time. Meanwhile, we'd be swapping crews.

Every great once in a while I can find my outbound crew waiting when I stop....luckily, we stage at a place that doesn't block up the world. Of course if we hog on line of road....it's anyone's guess.

This outfit (Seeking Alpha) which does a broad spectrum analysis of stocks/markets in general. This news surprised me because I figured NS was a pretty good railroad compared to CSX, UP, and a few other bigs

I haven't owned their stocks, but I'm still hangin' on to CN, hoping they'll get it together.
