[quote="Brakie"]Why switch it at all and make all those unnecessary moves?
Brakie, that is good advise, except for one thing. todays locals outlaw somewhere up the line and don't make it back until tomorrow or the next day, meanwhile the people that the industries have working over waiting for the cars get screwed.
I wish I had a nickel for every time the local pulled this on me and the mill we serviced actually had to shut down for lack of cars to load. This despite the fact the crew was called specific to work us first, but they knew better. I was glad when that crew was removed from the local and the job was put on the extra board.
