It is that time of the year again. Please go to CrewPro to enter your vacation bids in the system for 2026. Remember, we are using the Strict Seniority method which means we honor all bids in each split (seniority permitting) before moving on to the next employee. Please remember to put in enough bids to cover your request in case you cannot hold a week requested in each split. you can also put latest in the year at the end of your choices, just in case. EACH SPLIT MEANS YOU WANT TO SPLIT UP YOUR WEEKS (Example: I have 5 weeks I want to split up. I put 1 week in split with multiple choices to make that happen)

Now, the FAA has announced a proposed rule that could significantly restrict drone operations around transportation facilities, including rail infrastructure. While this proposal is broader than rail alone, it's clear that the concerns raised by frontline transportation workers are finally getting attention at the federal level. This is progress, but the job is not finished. The FAA has opened a public comment period on this proposal through July 5, 2026, and this is the moment for railroad workers to make our voices heard.
