"The Future of American Railroading"

The best safety device ever invented for a locomotive is a careful engineer!

*****ATTENTION*****

Please read System General Order # 14 in its' entirety.  There is a new HPT requirement for empty coal trains (hoppers).  The carrier is going to strictly enforce this requirement.  Let us demonstrate our professionalism and attention to detail.  Don't get caught "out of compliance"!!

In a continuing effort to enhance the navigability of our web site you will see some changes in the coming weeks.

  • First, we will try to organize the Q and A sections by using categories to highlight the most sought after answers.
  • Second, we will try to stick to the use a question and answer format on the Q and A pages as opposed to the “notice” style.
  • Finally, we will use questions from the membership as the catalyst for the information provided on the Q and A pages.
  • Information requiring a “Notice” style of delivery can be found, depending on the content, on the “LCA”,” LR”, “Safety”, “Rules", "FRA”  or “S/T” pages.     

With that being said; to submit a question to the local division leadership you can:

  • Use any of the email addresses found on the “Contact Us” page.
  • You can leave a message on the phone at the office (option 4).
  • You can fill out the dreaded “Grievance” form and place it in the BLE-T box at the depot.
  • Due to the time it may take to find the correct answer to your question, be aware that the response time to your question may not be immediate.
