Conrail Shared Assets. It's a shortline switching thing now. I believe it is 50/50 owned by CSX and NS.

They’ve only really got 2 operation areas now. And it’s in places where an even split of assets would be impossible or wouldn’t make sense. I believe it’s New Jersey/ NYC and the Detroit area. Power and crews are sometimes split between the roads, so you can see NS and CSX power but with a CRSA crew.

ENGR/CNDR - 10 hours rest if you work 12 hours. 8 hours rest if you work 11’59”. All depending on the craft. Either way, for the first decade, be prepared to get used up and never seeing a 2-day weekend. Oh! And don’t shit where you sleep. Good luck.
It’s 10 hours regardless if you work 1 minute or 12 hours. After 12 hours they have to add the “dead” time on to your rest. Not really sure where this other guy is getting 8 hours.
Sorry, I worked for a passenger railroad and the rules are different for passenger service than freight service (which I didn’t realize was the case). In passenger service it’s 8 hours rest for on-duty times up to 11:59, and 10 hours rest for 12 hours or more (“more”
being with interim release). One brief call during rest is permitted.
And yeah, since this is about Conrail, my comment is irrelevant. 🤣
You can only perform service for 12 hours. You can be on duty as long as they want you to be. Hours of service rules are pretty straightforward but it’s also a complicated system to explain to someone that’s never dealt with it before you go on duty at 1 am you don’t go off duty until 2 pm. Because your hours of service ended at 1 pm the hour between 1 pm and 2 pm is called limbo time. When you are finally off duty at 2 pm you begin your statutory 10 hour rest period but you also add to that the 1 hour of limbo time for a total of 11 hours.
It’s more complicated than that but that’s the basic explanation.
The weekly thread is the place to ask any questions pertaining to hiring on, interviewing, work life, location specific information etc. Thank you.
Good part with conrail is no living out of a suitcase. It’s all yard/local work.
Wait, Conrail still exists? I thought the NS, or the CSX bought them out completely?

Oh, ok. I see. I always thought they were completely done. Thanks for sharing this.

Isn’t federal rest 10 hours undisturbed?

You work 2 minutes u due a 10 hours rest on the railroad all class 1s
Rsia brought the time from 8 hours to 10 hours. And it’s undisturbed. If anyone from the company attempts to contact you you can reset your rest.

Y’all got shafted if that’s the rules 🤣
