We're working on it!!!
Still having problems in the yard, but some problems our out of our hands.
Late arrival's require that the crew gets their rest period, so the train waits for the crew.
Have had a few equipment failures at the last minute, but car reliability has improved alot!
Switching in the yard is still a problem. CSX uses the yard as a training area for "newbees" and this can be a nightmare!!!
Still need more people on the running trains. If a major defect occurs, it takes away time from the other cars. Even if there is a replacement car, the time to switch the cars hurts!!
All in all, the yard is moving forward and it's getting better !
Car PM's are scheduled by computer and cars of the same type are being pulled at the same time. If we could schedule our PM's, we could spread the cars out and not have 4 diners in one week! It would reduce switching cars and late departures.
