Summary

CSX eliminated 109 operations management positions as part of a restructuring of its engineering functions, the company said. The cuts were described as intended to establish a more effective operating structure and better align field support with railroad needs while maintaining capabilities to safely operate and maintain the network. A CSX spokesman said 58 affected employees were offered new roles within operations and 51 were offered severance; of those offered severance, 75% have union seniority and may return to craft positions. The article notes this follows a January round when CSX laid off 166 management employees and that the COO announced his retirement with duties reassigned to two executives.
