Anytime a manager does trainman, yardman, and/or engineman work; like throw switches, pull pins, hang a marker, and so on, you are required to report that activity to the LCA immediately so that the proper action can be taken to stop the Carrier from eliminating our jobs ! Also, the first out on the protecting extra board must put in a claim for not being called to do the work that the manager is doing. Do not be lazy and complacent, it is stupid to not report instances of managers doing our work !!
Similar situation with a different manager happened last night at G3 again. The train was MCBCHX 07. It was about 5 am. I talked with the conductor about it, he should be getting in contact with Tom sometime today.
Metra posted an 8% increase in ridership for a total of 38 million rides. In 2025, Metra completed multiple station renovations and added more frequent service to the Union Pacific-North, UP-West and BNSF lines, RTA officials said. Metra also extended its reduced fare program to include low-income riders in Cook County.
