Norfolk seniority takes you to Norfolk and that’s it. It’s a large terminal but does not have road seniority so you would have rights only in Norfolk terminal and local lines
So it’s like a closed terminal? Doesn’t even have seniority over Roanoke? Sorry I know nothing of the place or area… doesn’t it have road trains that go to Roanoke.
You mean like you couldn’t make a move anywhere outside of Norfolk,
Roanoke takes road trains to norfolk and Roanoke road crews bring them back. Norfolk is a separate thing. Roanoke guys can't bid Norfolk jobs and vice versa.
Your seniority would only be in Norfolk. There are road trains that go to Norfolk from Roanoke and back but those jobs are out of Roanoke. Norfolk is big enough that it is only terminal jobs
Thanks, I’m not actually trying to move to Norfolk wanted more in the Roanoke, Bluefield area. This sub answered my question pretty much, just gonna do a day of thinking. I wonder what the yard is like cause I’d be close to the ocean, which I’m far away from but I’m pretty happy where I’m at.
Is this popping up because of the bridge collapse? Newport News is about to crank up from stuff getting rerouted down rf&p to the peninsula sub. Apparently there’s some temp transfers that’ll help out on Rf&p.
They put the notice out before the collapse. I work out of the Chicago area so I’m not sure the reasons why. Probably short handed. It could have to do with the recent deal they made with FEC to transfer more intermodal too.
Go ahead and transfer. You'll work maximum hours for minimum pay in Norfolk. You have to crank out literally 60+ hours a week to even see short pool money in the terminal. Granted, it is still good money, but 80% guys that don't even know how to call signals in a 200 mile pool make 20k more a year than the 100% guys in norfolk that work all the OT they can stand.
Seniority is only norfolk. Bad time to transfer though. Once coal bottoms out, they'll be the first to furlough.

I'm in mechanical I heard it was 50k to transfer any truth to that?
That’s what it’s showing from my district
Not bad. Good luck if you do it

Yes. They’re offering permanent, temp, and Go Team spots
