‘Lines on Labor’

I

f the headline above sounds familiar, you’ve been reading Railway Age for a very long time. “Lines on Labor” was the late Senior Editor Gus Welty’s column; we retired it in 1997 when Gus died.

I wonder what Gus would think of current national contract negotiations, which to put it politely, are “tense.” Since I can’t ask him, I turned to long-time railroad investor and board member Gil Lamphere for some current thinking—his own “lines on labor.”

“Labor has historically been treated as a retractable Elmer’s Glue Stick: hired, trained to remain stuck with the railroad and hold it together, but getting furloughed when the economic cycle turns down. That changed when the railroads’ Baby Boomers (people born between 1946 and 1964) retired with 30-40 years of experience, mainly following changes to the Railroad Retirement Act. “The Millennials (‘Generation Y,’ people born between 1981 and 1996), lacking institutional knowledge that requires years to develop, came on board with different expectations for rapid advancement after being trained. But they didn’t want to stay in one place anymore, let alone the railroad that had trained them and given them experience. They wanted and developed job options elsewhere. So much for restoking the institutional knowledge firebox.

“Michael Ward, when he was Chairman and CEO of CSX, saw this coming. Ward recognized labor as an essential element of railroading. Ward showed his Board of Directors the statistics and described the Millennials’ characteristics. His strategy

SUBSCRIPTIONS: 1 (402) 346-4740

was ‘we will meet the Millennials halfway.’ One year later, he reported back to the Board of Directors on how his strategy was working.

‘Halfway is not working,’ he said. ‘The Millennials win. They won’t compromise. We are the ones who have to adjust.’

“Wall Street loves a low labor number, which means lower expenses and higher profits. But Wall Street has a hard time realizing that current low labor figures are an artificial number, and a hard time devaluing the railroad sector if it doesn’t run on time. And Wall Street is confused when the rails are scrambling to increase labor after years of Wall Street enjoying and rewarding increasingly lower labor figures produced by PSR or simple redundancy reductions.

“Labor should not be the retractable Elmer’s Glue Stick, but the Super Glue necessary to permanently hold a railroad’s complex network and on-time function together, binding a highly efficient, balanced, on-time railroad together.

Wall Street needs to accept the fact that railroading is a complex, long-term outdoor game that requires experienced, robust players on a permanent team. This is especially true if rail wants to blend the competitive dynamic growth of intermodal with its traditional, semi monopolistic bulk commodities business and maybe even grow carload business. Much like capex, labor is the permanent capital in which railroads need to invest.”

The term “human capital” has replaced “people” or “staff ” or “employee,” especially in large companies. It makes perfect sense. As Gil Lamphere and other experienced railroaders will tell you, there is no more important area of investment.

Industry Indicators ‘SOME COMMODITIES DID PRETTY WELL, SOME NOT SO WELL, SOME IN BETWEEN’ “It was more of the same for U.S. freight rail traffic in May 2022: Some commodities did pretty well, some did not so well, and some were in between.” the Association of American Railroads reported last month. “Total carloads on U.S. railroads were down 3.7% in May, their second straight year-over-year decline and the third in the first five months of 2022. Seven of the 20 carload categories we track had carload gains in May, led by crushed stone and sand (likely thanks to gains in frac sand shipments); motor vehicles and parts (weekly average carloads were 13,759, the second best for any month since March 2021); and food products. U.S. intermodal volume averaged 275,640 units per week. That’s the highest weekly average for any month since June 2021 and the third-best weekly average for intermodal for May in history. May 2022 was down 4.3% from May 2021, which was the best May ever for intermodal.”

July 2022 // Railway Age 5

NS Debuts Updated Operating Plan NORFOLK SOUTHERN (NS) LATE LAST MONTH ANNOUNCED A NEW OPERATING PLAN THAT IT SAYS WILL DRIVE SERVICE, PRODUCTIVITY AND GROWTH. The TOP|SPG plan—which stands for Thoroughbred Operating Plan|Service Productivity Growth—evolved from NS’s previous plans, NS said.

“TOP|SPG guides how our teams move freight each day,” NS explained. “This isn’t a radical change in how we work with our customers, but a shift in how we execute our operations to move their shipments more directly and consistently. The most substantial changes affect intermodal markets, our most time-sensitive business. TOP|SPG will modify roughly 90% of scheduled intermodal and merchandise trains to reduce terminal congestion, improve network fluidity and create capacity for growth.

Ultimately, TOP|SPG will simplify the network and create an operating plan with a high level of executability that will drive greater consistency and service improvements for our customers.”

While the plan will not require operating changes for “the vast majority of our customers,” NS said it has been in communication with impacted customers “to ensure they are prepared.”

The plan is built on: 6 Railway Age // July 2022

• Service: “Providing a platform for consistent service was the top goal in designing TOP|SPG,” according to NS, which “worked with customers to ensure that plan changes will have minimal impact on their operations and is designed to meet their future growth.”

• Productivity: “TOP|SPG works by making the company’s operating plan simple, consistent and executable every day,” NS said. “Shipments will travel more directly across Norfolk Southern’s network; onemarket origin to one-market termination.

Additionally, a balanced network flow helps ensure that shipments are less likely to get caught at choke points and facilities keep goods moving.”

• Growth: “Team members, engines, rolling stock and terminals are aligned to effectively serve customers, while being nimble enough to handle future volume,” according to NS. Where it made sense, NS said it “began to shift daily operations to TOP|SPG ahead of June 27, realizing early benefits.”

“Improvements within our Merchandise and Bulk segments were the focus of TOP21 [the previous NS operating plan], and the primary focus of TOP|SPG is our Intermodal business,” NS Vice President Network Planning and Operations Paul Duncan said.

“We have an imperative for service, and we

know that we need to meet our customers expectations. So in the framework of the current environment, in the framework of our current service, we knew that collectively we needed to adjust our plan and our offering in order to facilitate service that our customers expect and deserve, as well as to facilitate and set up the railroad for future growth opportunities.”

“There were three focus areas of TOP|SPG,” Duncan noted. “One, we wanted to ensure we built a simplistic network that optimized work events as well as optimized the utilization of our main line and our corridors. That included minimizing handlings at our intermediate yards. The second tenet of TOP|SPG was our ability to execute the plan. We wanted to build a plan that not only improved service, but was achievable, consistently achievable, across the network. The third tenet was consistency. We wanted to ensure that we built in predictable service our customers could rely on in order to grow in their supply chains. Whether it’s intermodal containers, intermodal trailers, shipper-owned railcars, we wanted to facilitate a railroad that improves service, that helps drive the productivity of those assets.”

Added Floyd Hudson, Vice President Transportation, “The combination of fewer, better-timed trains and the addition of more crews will drive improvements in our service, improve reliability in the coming months and throughout the remainder of the year.”

“TOP|SPG is designed to enhance our service recovery,” NS President and CEO Alan H. Shaw summed up. “It reduces the complexity of our network by reducing train meets and reducing work events, and ultimately creates a much more executable plan for our field team. TOP|SPG and the additional resources that we’re adding through aggressive hiring and conductor trainings will help create a much better service product for us and for our customers.”

While the plan will allow the company to “improve our service product, improve our network velocity, improve our capacity, it’s not going to happen overnight,” Shaw said. “I can assure everyone that the entire Norfolk Southern organization is focused on it intently. We are adding resources; we are modifying our plan. Those will build off each other to enhance our service product and create a greater platform for growth for our customers.” railwayage.com

NORTH AMERICA

HITACHI RAIL is installing a wireless system to monitor the performance of bogie and wheelset components on the 93 class 800 and class 802 trains that it supplied and maintains for British operator GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. In what the manufacturer claims as a world first for digital fleet maintenance, wireless sensors developed by PERPETUUM will gather data in real time on the condition of the full suite of wheelset and bogie parts, including gearboxes, traction motors, bearings and wheels.

AMTRAK, in partnership with NEW JERSEY TRANSIT and in coordination with the NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, has entered into a $73 million, two-year contract with a team led by global engineering, consulting and design firm ARUP to begin designing options for Gateway Program extensions and additions to the existing tracks, platforms and concourses in Penn Station New York.

“The work is part of the overarching plan under the Gateway Program to roughly double capacity into Penn Station from the west (New Jersey, including two new tunnels under the Hudson River to supplement the existing, original twin tunnels), relieving a major bottleneck on the Northeast Corridor by allowing more trains to serve the nation’s busiest rail facility and improving reliability for customers,” Amtrak said. “This substantive railroadfocused work is a seminal piece of a larger undertaking to improve the existing station and expand the facility for the future, plans for which are being developed by Amtrak and its partners in New York and New Jersey.” Amtrak said that the

preliminary design effort “begins immediately and will produce railroad concepts to be analyzed as part of the federal environmental review for Penn Station expansion.

The design will focus on development of new tracks and platforms, escalators and other vertical circulation elements, pedestrian concourses, and connections to existing and future facilities. The design team will coordinate closely with Amtrak’s partners and the various planners and designers of other projects taking place throughout the Penn Station complex to integrate schedules and streamline delivery of work for all parties.” The railroad concepts developed in the design effort will be evaluated as part of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including requirements for public comment and engagement. The environmental review is expected to be led by the MTA with support from Amtrak and NJT, and could begin as soon as this year. The design team led by Arup includes GRIMSHAW, KOHN PEDERSEN FOX ASSOCIATES, HATCH LTK AND LENDLEASE. railwayage.com

Amtrak has exercised an option with Siemens Mobility for an additional 50 ALC-42 (“Amtrak Long-Distance Charger, 4,200 HP”) dieselelectric locomotives, bringing the total contract value to $2 billion, including supplemental multi-year maintenance support. The amount also includes about $850 million in funding set aside when the initial order of 75 units was announced in 2018. An EPA Tier 4-compliant Cummins QSK-95 powers the ALC-42.

MIDYEAR REPORT

UNDER SCRUTINY

Compared with the intense examination to which Class I freight railroads have been subjected by the Surface Transportation Board and other industry stakeholders, dealing with the global COVID-19 pandemic was a relatively calm stroll in the park on a warm spring day.

S

o far, 2022 has been a perfect storm for the freight rail industry. In the eye of the storm, rolled into a giant clump of overcooked spaghetti suspended in a spider’s web coated with super glue, are no fewer than 10 pain points: 1. Continuing supply chain problems over which the railroads have a limited amount of control.

2. Dissatisfied shippers represented in many cases by hostile trade associations painting a bleak picture of service problems and price gouging perpetrated by railroad senior management they say has a 19th-century robber baron-era mentality.

3. A labor shortage that some say is the industry’s fault, due to poor planning for a post-COVID recovery.

10 Railway Age // July 2022

4. Possible Surface Transportation Board (STB) regulatory action on provisions like reciprocal switching, which the railroads say is akin to having a cut spike driven into one’s skull with a sledge hammer.

5. Intense criticism of Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR, Wall Street’s favorite acronym), which detractors say has resulted in nothing more than excessively long, unsafe trains and too few crews to operate them.

6. Similar criticism on the part of STB, led by activist Chairman Martin Oberman, of Wall Street-friendly practices like stock buybacks, headcount reductions and cuts in capital investment programs.

7. A Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) that, at least on the surface, appears to be beholden to politicians and the labor

unions who contribute big bucks to their campaign coffers, unduly influencing the agency to apply the brakes on waivers to test beneficial, artificial-intelligencebased technology like ATI (Automated Track Inspection). Hearings on rail safety and service conducted by the Democratic-controlled, union-favorable U.S. House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, Subcommittee on Railroads appear to be in lock-step with the FRA rollbacks, and with an attempt to legislate two-person crews. Many observers see the hearings as little more than political theater.

MIDYEAR REPORT

rail labor strike—which hasn’t occurred in more than 30 years—is looming.

9. A significant STB ramp-up of the performance metrics that railroads are required to report, coupled to a new demand for service recovery plans. These beefed-up regulations apply mainly to the “Big 4” Class I’s—BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific.

10. Freight traffic that, for most categories, is flat or declining.

A closer look at STB regulations governing performance metrics and service recovery plans—and Oberman’s excoriation of initial railroad responses—gives, in a broader context, a snapshot of this perfect storm.

On April 26 and April 27, 2022, STB held a public hearing, “Urgent Issues in Freight Rail Service,” on what it’s calling the “recent railwayage.com

significant performance deterioration of the freight rail industry.” At the hearing, the agency heard “compelling testimony from shipper and labor witnesses about the severity and dire impacts of substandard rail performance,” in addition to insights presented by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Jewel H. Bronaugh. The STB also heard testimony from BNSF, CSX, NS, and UP about “the causes, extent and likely duration of service disruptions, and their remedial initiatives.”

Many observers say the hearing was an opportunity for shipper and labor interests to turn up the heat on the railroads and fan the blame-game fire with tornado-velocity hot air.

The hearing triggered a rapid response from STB. On May 6, the energized agency issued an order, “Urgent Issues in Freight Rail Service—Railroad Reporting,” requiring the Big 4 to file service recovery plans addressing the “severe service deficits presently permeating their rail networks.” The plans “would specifically describe their key remedial initiatives and promote a clearer vantage point into operating conditions on the rail network.” But for Oberman, these plans were “woefully inadequate.”

“Unfortunately, these four carriers submitted plans that were perfunctory and lacked the level of detail that was mandated by the Board’s order,” Oberman said. “The plans generally omitted important information needed to assure the Board and rail industry stakeholders that the largest railroads are addressing their deficiencies and have a clear and measurable trajectory for doing so. Of particular concern was the fact that UP and NS flatly refused to provide the six-month targets for achieving their performance goals explicitly required by the Board’s order. Because of the plans’ shortcomings, the Board finds it necessary to require the railroads to supplement their plans and provides explicit further instruction on the critical information they must include.”

So, on June 13, STB issued yet another order directing the Big 4 to correct what it says are “deficiencies in their rail service recovery plans” filed in response to the May 6 order. STB also ordered these railroads “to provide additional information on their actions to improve service and communications with their customers as well as additional detailed information to demonstrate their monthly progress in increasing the size of their work forces to levels needed to provide reliable rail service.

The service recovery plans, together with the additional requested information, are crucial components of the Board’s active monitoring of the nation’s freight rail industry and particularly the Board’s focused efforts to ensure that the large carriers overcome the significant service problems affecting many rail users and the public.”

“Freight rail is critical to our nation’s economy, and we must ensure the railroads are doing everything within their means to transport commodities that are crucial to the public welfare, such as animal feed, food ingredients, fuel products and fertilizers, and critical chemicals,” said Oberman. “We are in the middle of a rail service crisis, and the Board continues to receive reports about persistent, acute and dramatic problems in rail transportation, disrupting critical supply chains and shutting down companies. The freight rail industry is currently struggling to provide adequate rail service, yet the service recovery plans we received are woefully deficient and do not comport with the spirit or the letter of the Board’s order. The plans simply failed to instill confidence that the carriers have a serious approach to fixing a problem caused by their own lack of preparedness to respond to external shocks and fluctuations in demand, including especially short-sighted management of labor forces and other resources.”

“While the railroads must always comply with Board orders, it is particularly disturbing that they failed to comply with the order requiring them to file adequate service recovery plans,” Oberman continued. “Under circumstances where service is not meeting customers’ needs, this is not too much to ask from highly sophisticated companies with important public responsibilities. I had expected a better response from the carriers to the Board’s previous order, and now with more explicit instructions, which should not have been needed, there will be no excuse for continued lack of compliance. UP’s May 20 response to the Board’s May 6 Order was by far the worst of all the carriers and reflected an attitude of indifference to the documented effects of its service deficiencies on its customers and of disregard for the Board’s statutory oversight of the freight rail industry.”

Oberman’s strongly worded condemnation is unlike anything that has ever been seen from STB, which for the longest time had appeared as an agency “under the radar,” buried in paperwork, crunching numbers produced by July 2022 // Railway Age 11

a small army of attorneys and clerks, largely out of the public’s eye. The agency’s newfound activism—driven in part, some observers say, by the Administration of U.S. President Joe Biden—has increased almost exponentially.

The Big 4 late last month responded with revised plans. Whether they will meet STB’s stringent standards remains to be seen.

There is a major STB decision looming: saying yes or no to the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern to create CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City), North America’s first transnational railway, uniting Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Though up to this point things have gone smoothly for the two Class I’s—approval of a voting trust, and the end-to-end, zero-overlap transaction occurring under the STB’s pre-2001 merger rules—approval is not a regulatory slam dunk.

True, the chances are heavily in favor of the deal’s approval in early 2023, but to borrow the famous malaprop from legendary New York Yankees player and manager Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over ’till it’s over.”

SEIDL: TRYING NOT TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY Following is Cowen and Company Managing Director and Railway Age Wall Street Contributing Editor Jason Seidl’s analysis of where 12 Railway Age // July 2022

things stood at midyear 2022: In 2021, shippers were plagued with congestion across their entire supply chain. Ports were clogged, trucks were in scarce supply, labor challenges abounded at warehouses, and new equipment was scarce. Truck pricing soared and intermodal would have been the logical choice to pivot to for some shippers. However, congestion issues limited the railroads’ ability to take freight onto their networks. We saw many railroads limit gate access at intermodal ramps, frustrating shippers and IMCs alike.

As we turned the corner into the new year, increased capacity in the trucking sector (particularly among smaller carriers and owner-operators) started to significantly drive down spot truckload prices from their record high levels. However, any celebrations by shippers were short-lived as diesel fuel prices were on the rise and jumped to record highs after Russia started a war with Ukraine and inventory supplies dipped down in certain regions of the U.S. These conditions have caused total landed freight costs for shippers to rise considerably as fuel surcharges marched higher throughout 2022. When we compare trucking and rail freight, we can see shippers (on the margin) shift freight to the railroads when fuel prices tick up. This modal shift has occurred because

railroads are notably more fuel efficient (nearly four times, according to the Association of American Railroads) than their trucking counterparts. In fact, we recently compared total landed costs in a typical intermodal lane to trucking and found that the trucking lane was 33% more expensive than the intermodal option.

Unfortunately for railroad investors, the Class I carriers have not been able to take full advantage of such a good intermodal market.

While equipment shortages (particularly on the chassis side) are negatively impacting the intermodal market, the shortage of labor at the Class I carriers appears to be the main cause behind the railroad industry’s inability to meet all the demand. Clearly, several carriers either cut headcount too aggressively and/or misjudged the labor market. Thus far, carriers have been on a hiring binge in 2022, but are still tracking below where many would like them to be. Indeed, it typically takes a new-hire four to six months of training before they are productively working out on the railroad. It should also be noted that this hiring process has come at increased costs to the railroads, with some offering sign-on bonuses for the first time in decades.

The fear some investors have is that the railroads have already missed a good part of what railwayage.com

Add these anticipated throughput improvements to the growing demand to move more freight to the railroads due to ESG benefits (several players in the intermodal space believe that benefits from ESG are already taking hold), and second-half 2022 should look better than the first half for intermodal business.

the respondents were still absorbing 10% or more of the increased cost of fuel. If fuel stays high and consumer demand destruction places further pressure on spot pricing, we would not be surprised to see these recent entrants leave the market. This could lead to an eventual bottoming of spot pricing later this year.

All that said, the railroads have no control over economic or geo-political winds. Hence, we hope they continue to focus on the supply chain issues they can have an impact on. We continue to believe the carriers will keep the proverbial foot on the hiring pedal. This, coupled with the surge in hiring earlier this

should have been one of the strongest intermodal markets in recent memory. Indeed, many people are fearing a recession, and we believe we may already be in one at the time we are writing this article in late June. The U.S. consumer is feeling the pressure of the highest inflation seen in roughly 40 years, while at the same time changing buying habits from mostly purchasing goods to now purchasing more services (travel, entertainment and dining out). This shift will likely be a negative for freight flows as the goods industry requires more transportation services then the services industry.

While we will continue to monitor the macroeconomic situation closely, we are also keeping our eye on the trucking industry. As previously mentioned, the bulk of the carriers that entered the market over the past 12 months have either been owner-operators or small carriers. They jumped back into a marketplace with record-level spot pricing but higher entrance costs for used equipment. In fact, several large carriers indicated that they are currently selling four-year-old Class 8 trucks for essentially the same amount as they paid for them initially. Unfortunately, the smaller carriers/owner-operators compete primarily in the spot market (which has been falling nearly every week) and are unable to recover all of their fuel costs via surcharges. This was highlighted in our recent proprietary Cowen Carrier Survey, which revealed that more than 50% of

WILNER: DISSECTING FAILED RAIL LABOR TALKS Will the U.S. see the first national railroad strike in more than three decades? Who is fanning the flames? Railway Age Capitol Hill Contributing Editor Frank N. Wilner weighs in: It has been more than two years since the rail industry’s 12 labor unions and management (representing most Class I railroads and some smaller ones) commenced bargaining to amend contracts defining wages, benefits and work rules.

Although ratified agreements are retroactive to the Jan. 1, 2020 start of negotiations, labor’s rank-and-file are feeling the pinch of almost 9% price inflation over the past 12 months. Labor negotiators, however, rejected a cash advance to tide members over during the pendency of negotiations and are demanding nothing less than a 47% wage boost over five years. Rail employee compensation, including employer-paid healthcare insurance and retirement plan contributions, already exceeds that of 94% of American workers.

Management, while acknowledging recent price inflation, points to the previous two 12-month periods when price inflation was

MIDYEAR REPORT whose effectiveness—and that of PEBs— depends on stakeholder and public perceptions of processes and actions being neutral and unbiased.

A 2010 NMB-led conference of stakeholders, studying why positive perceptions were eroding, concluded that while mediation sometimes seemed “virtually endless”—as the Supreme Court observed in 1987—and demoralizing to the rank-and-file, the “variations and distinctions between the multiplicity of bargaining disputes” makes it impractical to establish hard time lines. What makes mediation effective is the NMB’s ability to accelerate or decelerate the process in response to good or bad faith bargaining by the parties.

The NMB early last month seemingly abandoned attentive and thorough consideration of issues, truncating to fewer than two months mediation involving 10 of the 12 rail unions representing a multiplicity of crafts and issues.

Those unions didn’t seek NMB-guided mediation until January 2022, with the first session not held until mid-March.

Mediation had barely begun when an assigned and highly respected NMB staff mediator was shunted aside by the three Board members who took charge of mediation. Two weeks later and over remonstrances of management and the Republican member, the NMB’s two Democratic members voted to declare, in record time, a bargaining impasse leading to a now-expected creation of a PEB. If the NMB’s two Democrats, each with labor union backgrounds, cozied up to rail labor, or were encouraged to do so by the Biden White House, it would be a troubling blemish on the NMB’s cherished image of neutrality, as the NMB is an independent (from the Executive Branch) regulatory agency. Its appropriate

communication with the White House should be limited to formal updates on the status of negotiations and the naming of a PEB. Another most notable recommendation of that 2010 NMB-led conference was that “Board-member involvement [in mediation] be managed in a way to avoid undermining of the authority of the mediator at the bargaining table or creating the perception of ‘deals’ being made by a party going directly to a Board member.”

Labor: It is myth that collective bargaining in the rail industry is conducted by labor negotiators concerned only with their members’ self-interest. Often, internal conflicts exist.

Consider the two largest rail unions, which have a history of behaving as scorpions in a bottle. Representing 54% of the 115,000 rail workers affected by this round of bargaining, the two are the Transportation Division of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMARTTD)—formerly United Transportation Union (UTU), which represents conductors and other ground service workers—and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET).

On seven occasions in past decades, the two unions failed in attempts to merge into a single union representing train and engine workers.

The UTU finally affiliated with a sheet metal workers union, while the BLE affiliated with the Teamsters, added “Trainmen” to its name to become BLET, and commenced poaching conductors from its rival, playing on anticipation of their promotion to engineer.

The BLET also signed an agreement with BNSF acknowledging a future of one-person train crews with a higher-paid engineer. Some BLET senior officers even advocated that where

but 2.6% and 1.5%, with expectations it will again retreat in response to the Federal Reserve Board’s aggressive economy-cooling interest rate hikes. Also affecting the generosity of management’s offer are dramatic reductions in coal traffic and a growing threat to intermodal from advances in self-driving trucks and legislation allowing longer and heavier trucks.

Does the fault for failed contract talks lie with the Railway Labor Act (RLA), the National Mediation Board (NMB), labor negotiators or management? Let’s consider each.

RLA: Passed by Congress in 1926 as the first law guaranteeing workers the right to organize, join unions and elect bargaining representatives, the RLA was intended as a manual of peace—that labor and management “jaw, jaw” rather than “war, war.”

Additionally, that rail labor contracts continue in force until periodically amended avoids the “no contract, no work” trap facing negotiators in other industries, and keeps paychecks flowing and trains operating.

If one grades the RLA on its ability to prevent economy-jolting rail work stoppages, it is an unmitigated success. Since World War II, just 12 days have been lost to nationwide rail stoppages, and none the past three decades.

A jolly wonderful reason is the RLA provides for compulsory and open-ended mediation to assure attentive and thorough consideration of issues; and, if necessary, non-binding settlement recommendations by experienced arbitrators serving on Presidential Emergency Boards (PEB). Should work stoppages still occur and Congress chooses to act with backto-work legislation that determines contract amendments with finality, it has in hand advice from PEBs. NMB: The RLA defines the NMB’s role,

MIDYEAR REPORT two crew members are required, the second be a BLET-represented “assistant engineer” rather than a SMART-TD-represented conductor.

As for SMART-TD, its predecessor UTU signed a national agreement embracing, for use in switch yards, job-saving remotecontrol technology that cost thousands of rival engineer jobs.

The UTU also cajoled UTU-friendly lawmakers to insert, sub rosa, in a non-transportation-related military aid bill, a legislative rider requiring the NMB to classify engineers and conductors as a single craft. The UTU objective was a winner-take-all representation election as the UTU had the greater number of members. The plot unraveled when the engineers’ union’s legislative department discovered the rider’s existence.

Although BLET and SMART-TD now sit side-by-side at the bargaining table with eight smaller unions, the harmony has more to do with mutual distrust and concern as to who might agree to what if they bargained individually.

Then there is internal union tension of

preserving dues revenue while simultaneously representing member interests that might be better served through job-reducing agreements providing career-long income protection.

As railroads consolidated, improved productivity and reduced headcounts, rail labor unions—even when merging with larger non-rail labor organizations—retained a topheavy administrative structure little changed from when they represented two- and threetimes as many rail workers. What is best for the union is not always best for the union member, and vice versa.

In 2014, for example, BNSF offered conductors a deal seeming to check every self-interest box—a collaboration by management and a forward-looking SMART-TD general committee of adjustment.

In exchange for allowing BNSF to operate trains on Positive Train Control (PTC) equipped routes—those of legacy railroads Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and St. Louis-San Francisco—conductors would be reassigned to ground service with more predictable hours

and contract language memorializing, for the first time, that they are in charge of train operation. (PTC is a $15 billion investment to eliminate human-factor-caused train accidents.) Also included were wage hikes and income protection until retirement.

Top officers of SMART-TD lobbied the 6,000 affected members employed by BNSF to reject the agreement negotiated by their general committee of adjustment, concerned with losing dues revenue when protected conductors retired and were not replaced.

Members did reject the offer, with many now expressing second thoughts when discussing how working conditions—by far the most significant complaint of train and engine workers—could have improved.

Management also has internal conflicts hindering efficient bargaining outcomes.

As major railroads consolidated into two duopolies separated roughly by the Mississippi River, differences defined them. Those in the West operated longer-haul trains with fewer yard operations—consistent with market geography—versus shorter-haul, yard-prolific

The MTA is pleased to release a revised Request for Proposal for “MS21001 Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure and Structures Supporting Long Island Rail Road Access into Grand Central Madison Terminal: Passenger Facilities and Retail Development and Management”!

MTA Construction & Development Company (MTA C&D) is seeking proposals for one or more qualified service providers to (i) operate and maintain infrastructure and related structures supporting The Long Island Rail Road Access (LIRR) into the new Grand Central Madison (GCM), and (ii) perform retail development and management services for the new Madison Concourse.

Customers taking LIRR to Manhattan will arrive at the new 700,000-square-foot GCM Terminal which runs alongside Madison Avenue from 43rd Street to 48th Street, and the new Madison Concourse, which is one level below Grand Central Terminal’s Dining Concourse. Once fully completed, Grand Central Madison Terminal and the new Madison Concourse will have retail and restaurants, spacious waiting areas, free Wi-Fi and real-time departure information. The MTA expects about 45% of all LIRR passengers will use GCM. The two distinct scopes of work for this contract are: (i) the Retail Scope of Work (to be performed by a master lessee), and (ii) the Facilities Scope of Work (to be performed by a facilities maintainer). A third Scope of Work (related to rail facilities) was deleted and removed from the RFP. Prospective proposers may propose on one or both Scope of Work. Accordingly, proposers need not propose on both scopes.

The MTA has progressed the RFP to finality: it has reached agreement with labor representatives of all impacted crafts with respect to the scopes of work, and a Cooperation Agreement has been executed; and the MTA has created The MTA Grand Central Madison Concourse Operating Company, a new MTA agency to manage the contracts.

Additionally, in connection with the Facilities Scope of Work, MTA C&D solicited feedback from the contractor community and revised the RFP to make it more contractor friendly as set forth, in part, below: 1. The term of the Facilities O&M Agreement has been reduced to an initial five (5) year term, with two (2) three (3)-year options.

2. The cost of certain capital replacement work originally included in the Facilities Scope of Work has been shifted from the facilities maintainer to the MTA Group.

3. The ‘Facilities Maintenance Fee’ will automatically adjust annually based on increases to CPI. 4. Performance of the Facilities Scope of Work is now encouraged by monetary incentives and disincentives.

Detailed information about the RFP is available on the MTA web site at: http://mta.info/capconstr/procurement/cc_solicitations.htm. The MTA looks forward to working together!

MIDYEAR REPORT railroads in the East. One-size-fits-all national agreements with standardized wages and work rules became problematic. During this round of bargaining, for example, CSX broke from national handling to negotiate wages and work rules separately with BLET and SMART-TD. Conflicts also exist between railroads and their investors, whose priority is short-term profits. Former BNSF CEO Matt Rose often said that because BNSF is not publicly traded— it being 100% owned by conglomerate holding company Berkshire Hathaway (B-H)—BNSF is able to focus more on meeting customer wants than fulfilling Wall Street demands.

B-H Chairman Warren Buffett said earlier in June that B-H selects acquisitions based on “long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves.”

As for publicly traded railroads, optics are troubling when management seeks to cap employee compensation while buying back billions of dollars in stock to improve share price. An example was offered recently by New York Times economics writer David Leonhardt

railwayage.com

in a critique of General Electric (GE) and its former CEO Jack Welch.

“For decades after World War II,” wrote Leonhardt, “big American companies bent over backward to distribute their profits widely,” with GE “proudly” talking about “how much it was paying its workers.” But under Welch, GE “unleashed a wave of mass layoffs and factory closures that other companies followed. Profits began flowing not back to workers in the form of higher wages, but to big investors in the form of stock buybacks.

But in the long run, that approach doomed GE to failure. So, while Welchism can increase profits in the short term, the long-term consequences are almost always disastrous for workers, investors and the company itself,” wrote Leonhardt.

Former Association of American Railroads Economist and retired STB Chief Economist William F. Huneke told Railway Age, “American companies need to shift from financial manipulation for short-term stock market gains and focus on building a company franchise. Railroads should relearn the lessons

taught by J. Edgar Thompson, who built Pennsylvania Railroad into America’s premier managerial and technology innovator during America’s Industrial Revolution.”

The NMB ordered negotiators back to Washington July 12 for a “public interest” session in a final effort to extract concessions leading to a voluntary agreement. Failing that, the NMB will recommend President Biden appoint a PEB. While the NMB provides a list of qualified neutral arbitrators, the White House is under no obligation to name those recommended. Failure to do so would be a red flag—indeed, a bloody shirt of distrust that would only further erode confidence in NMB and PEB neutrality.

Once a PEB is in place, labor and management destinies belong to a third-party, with the 1991 words of former NMB member, and then neutral arbitrator, Robert O. Harris still resonating: When PEBs and Congress are chosen to settle rail labor contract disputes, “welcome to the oldest established craps game in Washington. Like the suckers in Guys and Dolls, you are risking your futures on the roll of the dice.”

TECH FOCUS — M/W

Reducing rail wear and mitigating noise in tight curves are among the benefits of lubrication and its high-tech equivalent, friction management.

BY MARYBETH LUCZAK, EXECUTIVE EDITOR

22 Railway Age // July 2022

S

uppliers are helping freight railroads and transit agencies maximize safety and performance with lubrication/friction management programs—all while reducing costs. Below, they share how, plus their latest products and market outlooks.

L.B. FOSTER Freight railroads today are increasingly looking to their friction management programs to maximize fuel savings, according to John Cotter, General Manager for Friction Management-Americas. “An effective program, where we’re lubricating the wheel/ rail interface, can reduce train resistance, which leads to an overall reduction in fuel consumption,” he tells Railway Age. “So in today’s inflationary environment and with fuel one of the railroads’ largest expenses,

they want to make sure that they’re leveraging their programs. On the transit side, I think we are seeing a slow return to normal. We’re not quite there yet in terms of traffic, which does influence what we see in terms of spending on consumables and friction management in general, but we are seeing a trend in the right direction to where we were pre-pandemic.”

Customers across the board are seeking value, improved efficiency and reduced downtime, Cotter says. That’s why interest in remote monitoring of lubrication and friction management equipment is on the rise. Some larger railroads take the raw data and analyze it themselves to determine unit performance, while others look to L.B. Foster to convert that data into something meaningful, such as program uptime.

Now in the pipeline at L.B. Foster are polemounted units for transit applications. “We railwayage.com

have a design that’s been successful in the European market that we are looking to bring to North America for applications where there are space constraints—like subway tunnels,” Cotter says. “We’re also making improvements to our MC-4 applicator bar design to reduce clogging. On the freight side, we’re developing an automated switch plate lubrication unit for use on the main line with possible rollout next year.”

LORAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Railroads of all sizes continue to see the benefits of friction management, Director of Product Management Bruce Wise reports.

“Class I’s tend to install their systems ‘out of face,’ where short line and regional railroads tend to focus on specific curves or challenging areas where rail damage or track integrity is especially important.” railwayage.com

Whitmore® AccuTrack® is designed to help reduce rail wear and sound as well as improve braking. Railroads can remotely monitor trackside applicators.

Pictured: Shell Gadus (TOR Armor) is applied top of rail by Whitmore® PolyTOR™ Wiping Bars.

To ensure system uptime, remote monitoring use is growing, he says. “Our latest generations are highly reliable and require very little power. Traditionally, many of the remote monitoring systems available were less reliable than the equipment they were monitoring— that is changing.”

New at Loram is an updated 25-gallon/200pound wayside tank and a modular version accommodating up to 200 gallons/1,600 pounds. “Our R&D focus has always been to continue to optimize our existing product lines and design them to be more robust, reliable, and easier to install and maintain,” Wise says.

Railroad Sales Christian Pieper tells Railway Age. And with “limited manpower for ‘boots on the ground,’ remote monitoring capabilities are more desired,” he notes.

RBL Inc./Robolube is currently working on a tow-behind lubricator that allows transit agencies and streetcar systems to grease the rail without hi-rail vehicle use. Additionally, “with our new wireless remote for our Hyrail lubricators, we are looking at putting in the palm of your hand all current functions as well as fault and data controls with a small LCD handheld device,” Pieper reports. “This will eliminate our control panel in the cab.”

RBL INC./ROBOLUBE Current market conditions are strong, “as it appears that more emphasis is being applied to friction management for minimizing rail wear and all related issues,” Manager of

friction management products. Supply chain issues have created long lead times for some products. Railroads have had to scramble to keep their friction management programs going. As far as services, it appears more railroads are interested in contracting out the filling services of wayside lubricators and in some cases the maintenance of those units.”

As supply chain issues slowly improve, Adkins tells Railway Age he is optimistic about market outlook, long term. “With the major increase in the cost of steel, it is now more important to prolong the life of assets like rail and train wheels,” he says.

Like L.B. Foster, SWRS is seeing Class I’s look to their friction management programs to save on fuel. Programs using top-of-rail friction management, such as Shell Gadus TOR Amor, can help reduce fuel use, according to Adkins. Another area of interest: allseason rail curve grease. Use of Shell Gadus Rail Armor M and Shell Rail Gadus S3 eliminates the need for a seasonal change-out, and there is no need to adjust output for temperature swings, Adkins says.

TECH FOCUS — M/W SWRS is now looking at improved rail curve grease thickeners, which will boost “pumpability.” It is also reformulating locomotive engine oils and gear oils to meet AAR specifications and continuing testing on a low-temperature top-of-rail friction modifier.

SKF USA INC. “SKF’s Lincoln wayside system utilizes precision metering devices, non-contact wheel sensors and a high-pressure pump capable of 5,000 psi,” reports Doug Conger, Director of Lubrication Engineering for North America.

“These elements work together to ensure that the exact amount of lubricant is applied to the gauge face in predetermined intervals.”

The system is also capable of lubricating multiple tracks in rail yards, for instance. “A loop may have three or more concentric tracks where normally multiple reservoir units would be required,” Conger points out. “With a Lincoln wayside system, the three tracks can be controlled separately with a single reservoir, pump and controller. This consolidation reduces the overall footprint of reservoirs

required for the application.”

Remote monitoring has been a feature of SKF’s Lincoln systems for years, providing instant updates on the health of the lubricator. “Receiving feedback on grease level, solar power and axle count is extremely valuable data that is used for effective maintenance planning,” Conger says.

Customers are more often requesting biodegradable lubricants to support environmental efforts, he adds. “The Lincoln wayside lubrication system can pump an NLGI #2 bio grease and can also accommodate many types of curve greases that are used in the rail industry,” he says. “The precise application of these greases greatly reduces spillage by enabling the wheels to pick up and transfer the grease down the rail.”

TRAC LUBRICANTS & COATINGS LLC Yeadon, Pa.-based TRAC has been helping to solve lubrication and corrosion problems for the freight rail and transit industry since 1992, Vice President and General Manager Rudy Rorer tells Railway Age. The company

offers five switch plate lubricants, including two that are biodegradable (Ultra Green and Ultra Glide), and a variety of rail/flange lubricants. Winterized versions—for applications in temperatures down to –30 to –40 degrees F—are also available. “We continue to develop new formulas that are environmentally friendly while utilizing materials that will require less frequent application, reducing manpower requirements,” Rorer reports.

TRAC is now refining a dry film lubricant (molybdenum disulfide) for switch plates and rail flanges to replace grease or other liquid lubricants. “Moly-disulfide is an inert material, so it’s environmentally friendly, and once it goes on, it breaks down and burnishes itself into the metal, so you will get a longer wear—something like 30%—and see less wear and tear on your switches,” he explains.

It is expected to be commercially available within the next 12-18 months. The company is also looking into another film application—not only for switch plates but also for rail curves—that would mix moly-disulfide and water.

MXV RAIL R&D Regional of the Year

M-976

TURNOUT NEGOTIATION EVALUATION

A

s part of the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Car and Truck Systems Strategic Research Initiative project, MxV Rail (formerly TTCI) was tasked by the Research Committee to determine whether it is judicious to include turnout negotiation in the AAR Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices M-976 specification requirements. This question was raised based on two factors: 1) the number of derailments occurring in yards and at turnouts each year, and 2) the M-976 specification currently does not require the assessment of a truck’s ability to negotiate special trackwork.

The evaluation of the inclusion of turnout 26 Railway Age // July 2022

negotiation was based on NUCARS® simulations of a freight car with both nominal and worn trucks. Standard covered hopper cars, one empty and one loaded, were combined with the two truck conditions and were used for the evaluation.

The worn freight truck model was created by constructing a NUCARS® model and updating the suspension characteristics to match the vehicle response of a worn freight truck measured during dynamics tests. The nominal freight truck model eliminated the wedge rise and restored the preload of the constant-contact side bearings to its nominal value.

NUCARS® simulations were performed with four combinations of car and truck conditions negotiating nominal Number

8, 10, 15 and 20 turnout designs. All simulations used new AAR-2A wheel profiles on new 136RE rail profiles with a 10-inch crown radius and a 1:40 rail cant. Additionally, simulations were conducted with these car and truck combinations negotiating a Number 10 turnout at different speeds.

The performances of these combinations through the Dynamic Curving regime, as defined by the M-976 specification, were also assessed. The turnout and Dynamic Curve simulation results were processed according to the M-976 specification requirements. The statistics related to the maximum wheel lateral-over-vertical force (L/V) ratio and minimum vertical load of the empty car were calculated and compared to the performance criteria defined in the railwayage.com

M-976 specification. The maximum wheel L/V ratios for the empty and loaded turnout simulations are shown in the top two plots of Figure 1 with the loaded Dynamics Curve simulations L/V ratios shown in the bottom plot. For the turnout results, shorthand was used to indicate the turnout number (#15 for example), the truck type (“W” for worn and “N” for nominal), the axle number and the turnout section (“S” for switch; “C” for the lead curve).

The results showed that the lead truck axles performed the worst in the switch portion, with the Number 8 and 10 turnouts resulting in the worst vehicle performance. Vehicle speeds had little influence on the results of the Number 10 turnout.

The turnout performance was qualitatively compared to the performance of the freight trucks throughout the Dynamic Curve regime. The Dynamic Curve regime railwayage.com

covered the speeds used for the turnout simulations. The turnout simulations did not show a high sensitivity to vehicle speeds and maintained a decent margin from the limit, while the Dynamic Curve results highlighted the poor performance at resonance speeds and resulted in the exceedance of the limits for the worn truck.

The results indicated that turnout negotiation did not push the vehicles’ performance to the limit. Instead, it was determined that a regime like the Dynamic Curve was designed to push the vehicle to its limit and was better at assessing truck performance compared with the turnout negotiation simulations.

UNDERSTANDING

THERMAL FORCES IN RAIL How temperature variations can cause sun kinks and pull-aparts

elcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month in this series, we examine a technology topic that professionals in the railway industry have asked to learn more about. This month we discuss how temperature variations can cause forces in railroad rail, even when trains are not present.

Figure 1 is a photograph of the sun on a

bright day in June. How is it that the heat of a summer day can cause several yards of railroad track to suddenly shift sideways out of alignment by a couple feet or more? Conversely, why does a rail suddenly snap in two on a cold winter day? Several scientific principles are in play to answer these questions, but one stands out as the most significant. Rail steel, like most metal materials, expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

There’s a fun way to think about this

phenomenon. Being connected by rail lines, shouldn’t Chicago Union Station and St. Louis Union Station be pulled closer to one another in the winter and pushed farther apart in the summer? For example, over the 260-mile distance between the two stations (as the crow flies), rail laid stressfree at 65-degrees Fahrenheit will be 310 feet longer on a 100-degree summer afternoon and 490 feet shorter on a 10-degree winter night. That’s a swing of 800 feet! Setting railwayage.com

TIMEOUT FOR TECH amusement aside, what really happens?

When rail is subjected to temperature variations, it moves relative to the ground surface. But it does not move freely because it is connected to ties that are buried in ballast.

Let’s look at this more closely. Figure 2 shows five schematic drawings of the same short segment of track. In the drawings, the rail is attached to the ties in such a way that the rail and ties move exactly together. Drawing C, shaded green, illustrates the track segment at its natural, unstressed length: that is, at its rail neutral temperature or RNT. Drawing B shows the segment at its freely expanded, unrestrained length associated with some temperature above its RNT. Drawing D shows the segment at its freely contracted, unrestrained length associated with some temperature below its RNT. When considering drawings B and D, we should imagine that the track segment is not installed in ballast, rather the bottoms of the ties rest upon a frictionless surface. This allows the steel rail to assume the length it would naturally have at the given temperatures above or below its RNT. Stated another way, drawings B and D show the rail “where it wants to be” at those temperatures— longer and stress-free when heated or shorter and stress-free when cooled.

Now consider that the ties are confined within consolidated ballast, and, by various means, the rail is attached to the ties. Consequently, the rail cannot be “where it wants to be.” Drawing A, shaded red in Figure 2, shows where the rail winds up being at a given temperature above its RNT. The rail is held shorter than “where it wants to be” by some amount that depends upon the movement between the ties and ballast and the movement between the rail and the ties. It is being restrained and experiences axial compressive force as a result.

Hence an axial compression force demand is being placed on the track structure because of the increase in temperature.

Drawing E, shaded blue in Figure 2, shows where the rail winds up being at a given temperature below its RNT. The rail is held longer than “where it wants to be” by some amount that similarly depends upon the movement between the ties and ballast and the movement between the rail and the ties.

It is being restrained and experiences axial tensile force as a result. This time, an axial tension force demand is being placed on the track structure.

Those are the essential features through railwayage.com

which temperature variations can cause axial compression and axial tension force demands in railroad rail. But we are just scratching the surface with that introduction. The specific magnitudes of rail forces that develop depend upon several details, many of which can exhibit substantial variability: for example, track type (jointed rail or continuously welded rail), rail size, rail neutral temperature, rail temperature (as opposed to ambient temperature), track geometry, proximity to special trackwork, proximity to a bridge, proximity to a grade crossing, rail anchorage arrangements, ballast condition, tie and fastener type and condition, etc. In combination, these details, their complex interactions, and their inherent variability, make it difficult to predict thermal forces in rail accurately and precisely.

Our discussion to this point has focused on the demand placed on the track structure because of rail temperature variation: that is, axial compression forces and axial tension forces. As a structural system, railroad track has capacity to resist these demands, but if the axial compression demand placed on the track exceeds its axial compression capacity, the track will likely experience failure in the form of an instability called buckling.

The physical appearance of a track buckle is a significant lateral shift out of alignment.

This failure mode is commonly termed a “sun kink,” because it happens most frequently on hot, sunny days, and it looks a bit like a kink in

the rail when viewed from above.

Railroad track also has a finite capacity to resist axial tension. If its axial tension capacity is exceeded, the rail will break. This failure mode is commonly termed a “pullapart,” because the tension in the rail results in formation of a gap between the broken rail ends, giving an appearance that the ends were pulled apart. Of special concern, if a rail contains a fatigue defect, its axial tension capacity is reduced and also becomes temperature dependent, being lower at lower temperatures. Hence, for rail with fatigue defects, cold weather brings the compounding effects of increased demand and reduced capacity. Rail that does not contain fatigue defects has negligible risk of failure, even under the most severe thermal tension forces that can be associated with winter conditions.

There are several options available to mitigate risk of failure associated with thermal forces in rail. For example, it is possible to adjust the RNT of rail. In the summer when the rail “wants to be longer,” sections of rail can be removed, shortening the rail, increasing the RNT, and lowering the compression forces. Conversely, RNT can be lowered for winter conditions by adding sections to the contracting rail, thereby reducing axial tension forces. Done strategically, RNT management can have the effect of reducing peak seasonal demands.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating

the effect of adjusting RNT to control seasonal demand. The blue region in Figure 3 represents capacity as a range around a central average value. It is assumed that the capacity of the rail does not change over the period represented. The yellow region represents demand as a range with a central average value. Periodic reductions in demand are indicated where RNT adjustments are made. Red markers indicate times when failure is likely: that is, when the upper reaches of demand exceed the lower reaches of capacity. Adjusting RNT is currently the most common method of mitigating sun kinks and pull-aparts. This would be considered an example of demand control to mitigate risk.

Although demand management can be an effective approach to mitigate risk of failure, it is also possible to increase capacity through relevant design, construction and maintenance procedures. Theoretically, if the safe design compression capacity of track to resist sun kinks can be increased adequately, the need for seasonal RNT adjustments could 30 Railway Age // July 2022

be nearly eliminated, while simultaneously decreasing risk of failure from sun kinks and pull-aparts. This would be considered a capacity control risk management approach.

In summary, sun kinks and pull-aparts are track failure modes associated with thermal forces that can develop in rail: axial compression and axial tension forces, respectively.

The risk of these failures can be mitigated through demand management by adjusting rail neutral temperature. The failure risk can also be mitigated through capacity management, optimally by adequate increases to the axial compression capacity of the track system.

Rail Insights 2022 Conference: Key Takeaways From Key Industry Leaders

A

t Railway Age’s Rail Insights 2022 conference, there was a key set of industry stakeholders talking about the state of North American rail.

Lance Fritz, CEO of Union Pacific, discussed the service recovery plan to handle UP’s current problems and to address future growth. Fritz described UP’s plan to reduce car supply to break congestion and improve service. Key Performance Indicator: UP reduced the number of cars on line by roughly 10% and increased velocity by more than 10%. Fritz also discussed a plan to reduce dwell times, which would also show a concomitant increase/improvement in network f luidity and service, and said UP feels confident in the hiring and employment pipeline it has created for bringing on, graduating and maintaining more staffing. He was bullish on the impact of AI (artificial intelligence) on rail technology and the future.

Eric Marchetto, CFO of TrinityRail, highlighted improvements in overall railcar demand and the need for improving the value proposition for rail. In a high-fuel-cost, environmentally friendly environment, rail “should win all day long.” Marchetto acknowledged that rail growth faces service challenges. He noted railcars have increased in price by 30%, mostly as a result of input costs. Steel price increases have become increases in specialty component costs.

Marchetto sees lease market inf lationary pressure due to increases in the cost of railcars, in demand and in interest rates.

STB Chairman Martin Oberman led his discussion with Railway Age Contributing Editor Don Itzkoff by stating that the railroads have made short-term decisions that have negatively impacted service and brought it to an incredibly low point. Armed with primary source material, Oberman took aim at the “platitudes” provided by the railroads about their ability to respond to the postpandemic traffic surge and the reality

36 Railway Age // July 2022

of today’s low service levels. He drew a contrast between the Class I and short line perspectives on hiring and maintaining employment. He also denounced the transfer of wealth from rail customer to railroad shareholders, noting essentially that even at current revenue levels, a railroad that is unable to provide service to a shipper loses profits from that shippers losses.

Paul Titterton from GATX discussed the leasing market with me. He indicated that current railcar tightness is not due to demand but to extraneous factors such as high scrap steel and new car prices, and slower velocity times. He feels there could be continued strength as long as the economy does not contract as velocity improves. Titterton noted that new railcar prices are being impacted by the price of specialty components, not just the price of raw materials such as steel.

GATX tracks a metric, “core carloads.”

Current statistics suggest that carload volumes have room to grow and that demand for growth exists. GATX is looking for a pivot to growth in North American rail. Sadly, Titterton also reported that progress on reforming the car-hire system has slowed or stalled.

Watco CEO Dan Smith discussed his company’s ability to work with its customer partners to develop growth solutions, helping them become better managers of their Class I partners. In a time of great Class I stress, Smith sees short line railroads as shipper partners that ease congestion at locations like port terminals and alternatively create a pivot to growth. Watco’s work in the terminal market has seen growth in the past decade as customers used Watco as a logistics supplier integrated into their supply chain. Using the examples of a soybean crushing plant and a multi-use warehousing/industrial space in Houston, Smith articulated how a short line railroad is a multi-use tool for industrial growth. On hiring, Watco has been able to use creative strategies

to promote retention and continue to develop its workforce.

Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner promoted the need for a successful 21st century passenger rail system. Amtrak will use much of its $22 billion from the recent infrastructure bill to improve and modernize the successful Northeast Corridor. Gardner wants to expand the franchise and improve corridors where there is demand for sustainable service.

He wants to bring more people onto Amtrak lines. With higher gas prices, people want more public transportation service. To do so, Amtrak will continue to need bipartisan political support.

CSX COO Jamie Boychuk focused on the need to maintain best-in-class staffing to promote a complete level of success at CSX. Creating a sense of value and opportunity is elemental to success in delivering on that promise. That means adopting modern employment strategies to attract and retain a highquality employee base. CSX is working to use technology that will assist employees in scheduling. The aim: to improve lifestyle, including commitments to their job and their families. Boychuk believes that by working more closely with local union reps and employees directly, the success of the railroad can be improved.

On the service side, CSX is looking at improving schedules for bulk commodities to improve service overall.
