Five man crew

What year did the five-man train crew go away? Early to mid 1980s?

When the BN spun off the MRL in 1987, I know they were able to use smaller crew size under the BLE umbrella. I recall cabooses were going away after 1983-ish.

Seems like after the Rock Island and Milwaukee collapsed, killing 1000's of blue collar jobs, did work rules finally started to change.
