So is BNSF really thinking about 1-man crews?

Railroad workers charged last week that Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway wants to do away with conductors during a town hall-style meeting with Montana Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. in Kalispell last week.

They urged Tester to support legislation in the Senate that would protect conductors’ jobs.

They claim the railroad wants to go to one-man crews, with only an engineer overseeing the operation of trains that are up to 2 miles long and transport hazardous materials like Bakken crude oil and anhydrous ammonia.

“In this neck of the woods (a derailment) would be an environmental disaster,” one railroad employee told Tester. “Railroads are more concerned with profit over public safety.”
