holy shit 173 pages...how do y'all keep up with that? I guess everyone else is in same boat, my tracker just showed shipped, eta 2/2 and climbing (hopefully not)

Yeah this group is actually not that bad comparing to others. None the less it’s been BS on shipping ova here for us on trains. So close but yet so far.

At the onset of the pandemic in 2020, Class I railroads furloughed train crews as volume sank at its fastest rate ever.​

​

When volume rebounded, crew members were not called back to work at the same rate as traffic returned because railroads were moving their tonnage on fewer but longer trains.​

​

Then three things happened that put railroads in a bind. Furloughed conductors found work elsewhere. Train and engine crews quit or retired at higher rates than usual. And an extremely tight job market made it difficult for railroads to recruit and hire conductor trainees.​

​

The result has been widespread crew shortages, particularly in the East where CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern service has suffered.​

​

Railroads are caught up in broader trends in the labor force amid a wave of workers who are retiring or finding better jobs. A record number of Americans left their jobs this year in what’s been called the Great Resignation, a phenomenon spurred on in part by the pandemic. Simply put, there are more job openings than job candidates.​

Same thing has happened in alot of industry's... Construction for example majority of the small crews are struggling with help. Why my house is 8 months behind schedule with no real end in sight.

It finally happened! I got bumped from 1-4 to 1-10, now it's 1-21 to 1-27...

Getting ridiculous. Just deliver them! This is a global company been around for decades. Logistics shouldn’t be so unreliable. If there’s issues, they should be considered when making estimates.

Mine still says In Production 12/15 but new EDD of 1/23.

Thanks for the info. Makes sense. I’ll have to stop looking it up and just wait for the bump or hopefully the call from the dealer. Okay for real for real. Not looking.
