Santa Fe Railway said it will consolidate its 11 regional operating divisions into just six, and will concentrate its locomotive and freight car repairs in San Bernardino and Topeka, Kan. Train and crew dispatching, management and freight offices will be based within three years only in Kansas City, Kan.; Newton, Kan.; Dallas/Fort Worth; Albuquerque, N.M.; Winslow, Ariz., and Los Angeles. Locomotive repair facilities will be downgraded to the performance of light repairs in Barstow, Calif.; Kansas City, Kan., and Cleburne, Tex. About 170 of the 420 workers in Cleburne will be laid off.
