In the immediate aftermath of the Ohio derailment, the working conditions of railroaders were called into question.

“Following national labor negotiations, we committed to address quality of life issues for our craft railroaders. With today’s agreement, we make good on that promise,” said Norfolk Southern President and CEO Alan Shaw.

Another experienced engineer involved in the pilot project, Tyler Ray, said not being able to know when he’ll be off has clearly taken a toll on his own personal life and that of other railroaders.

Bacon said his grandfather was a railroader with the Illinois Central and that he and Fitzpatrick were pragmatists.

My uncle was a union railroader, too, before being moved to management.
