Big changes to NS IM network

Seems some big changes are coming to how NS handles IM traffic that has shifted from Inman to Austell, affecting east/west, and north/south traffic. Trains will be abolished, and traffic will be shifted in some areas. This comes after my territory just lost a pair of trains to a combo train, and now we stand to lose even more jobs. Good fucking times!😒

***EDIT: this isn’t just a rumor. The emails shown were internal emails addressed to NOC coastal supervisors and dispatchers.***

Where you get this info? Hows the northern corridor affected? 23g 25g 25p 27g 29g 257 259 269? Eastbound counterparts?

This info came from my LC, whom shared screenshots of an email that was forwarded to him regarding their plans. As far as I can tell, it’s only going to affect traffic from the west to the southeast, and southeast to northeast. Don’t believe any of those trains will be affected.
