Re: (erielack) Freight Movement on Piermont Branch



It use to have regular days under CR. M_W_F.   Now it's as needed when 
possible, maybe.  They have derailed going up there about 5 times in the last 
8 months. Two in the last couple of weeks.

Track is owned by Metro North, who isn't about to spend a penny on a freight 
customer. And so it goes.  We had two guys retire this past week, and the 
railroad promptly abolished the last two brakeman's jobs left on the railroad 
east of Gang Mills, and Allentown.  Maybe the last ones on the whole 
Railroad, who know? 
It's a Great outfit to work for!
