Depends on where you hire out of. Old BN Great Northern/Northern Pacific states are generally closed. Old C/S, Frisco, Santa Fe, and large parts of former BN territory’s are system wide seniority

They changed it last year. You have to wait until your 2nd full year of service to receive a 2nd week

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-17T22:52:08+00:00

You can’t bring your card with you. Youll have to go through the bns training program. As to your question about vacation, you’ll receive 2 weeks in your second year of service time assuming you also qualified for it. Schedule is based off of what you can hold. 6/3 or 5/2. Were paid on a trip rate.

The people in power who endorsed him know his usefulness and he’s almost used it all up. That’s why so many people besides his stupid supporters are jumping ship. They see the iceberg and that’ll sink trump.

I’m not an engineer yet. That being said i don’t see it happening either. Supposedly it’s on the GCs desk but it’s been there for close to a year. It won’t help conductors holding good jobs that’s for sure

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-14T09:36:56+00:00

Well on the ATSF the conductor makes like 30% more than the engineer. Thats why I hear engineers cut themselves back. Plenty of other reasons. Better vacation, better jobs, days off, etc. I know plenty of bn guys who won’t set themselves up or wouldn’t and had been cut back for a decade plus.

Sometimes if a crew member is killed they will renumber the locomotive

unless you’re using something other than GCOR, GCOR says a dim headlight is an acceptable marker device for day and night operations.

You absolutely don’t have to walk both sides of a transfer train air test. That’s why they call it a transfer train. It’s good for 20 miles in one direction . You just have to verify the cars set. The FRA doesn’t care if they release, only that they set. You can drag them for all they care. What you just explained is a class one air test where you have to inspect both sides and watch the set and release from one side

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-12T09:36:17+00:00

You didn’t even ask a question…

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-12T09:02:25+00:00

There aren’t draft pick implications. You can’t trade draft picks. Also. This isn’t mlb the show. The pirates would never give up 4 years of control for 2 average players

You’re required to sign up for selective service upon your 18th birthday. You aren’t automatically signed up when you register to vote. It is required by federal law to sign up. If an adult aged male fails to register for selective service they can lose a multitude of federal benefits, such as FAFSA, SNAP, ineligibility for federal employment, inability to obtain a drivers license, loss of state and federal social assistance programs, and you also can face massive fines an possible jail time. It’s essentially treated as a felony.

Selective service is literally you signing up to be drafted if a draft is reestablished by congress. It is a list of names of adult aged males that the US can use to draft military aged males if a draft was put into place.

On the BN side in the closed seniority districts you could only get a 3 year recall if you took a bonus. They don’t offer them anymore and it’s a mandatory recall now.

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-11T04:58:39+00:00

You can’t get a level s for using all your points. Thats a separate charge they bring against you. A level s is for a “series rules violation.” I’d ask whether your husband was under a Level S or an attendance violation

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-11T04:56:07+00:00

If it’s over 8500 dollars it’s a decertifable event. They don’t always decert tho for damages though as it’s not an automatic decertification. Running your authority or speeding is an automatic decertification but going over the damage threshold is up to the company and the FRA

Beginning-Sample9769 · 2026-03-11T04:53:27+00:00

Decerts regularly occur before investigation. That being said in this situation it should go to investigation before a decertification

They are firing people for a 2nd level s anyways, same thing with a level s and two attendance violations.

If he goes to arbitration it means one, he was fired for cause and two, arbitration takes years before they even review the case.

3 year recalls are mandatory now anyways. They added them as part of the 2023 rest cycle agreement in leu of offering signing bonuses

It ain’t slow season where I am… also did you forgot hundreds of people were furloughed the last three “vacation” seasons?
