WATERVILLE, Maine — CSX is moving 21 mechanical jobs at the former Pan Am Railways locomotive shop in Waterville to Selkirk, N.Y., and Cumberland, Md., leaving the current holders of those jobs to choose between transfer or leaving the railroad.
CSX said in a statement that the relocation is effective March 1 “to better utilize resources and personnel.
That doesn’t make any sense.”The Waterville Engine House and Back Shop complex dates to the late 1800s.
It was included in the CSX purchase of Pan Am Railways approved by the Surface Transportation Board in April 2022 and effective that June [see “Regulators approve CSX Transportation’s acquisition …,” Trains.com, April 14, 2022].
The Maine AFL-CIO says five machinists and four electricians will remain at Waterville after March 1.
