Question on T. Judah
I was wondering if you could provide any additional information on what you posted here
: [
www.altamontpress.com] about a nation-wide hiring freeze until all former Rock Island employees had been hired by other railroads. I have been unable to uncover anything about a government order requiring that. I do know that SP gave the right of first refusal to former RI employees when it hired employees for the so-called "Cotton Rock," but SP also hired many, many new people who were not ex-Rock at locations around the system during that same time frame.
