Santa Fe Recalls Repair Shop Workers
Santa Fe Railway has announced that it is recalling 96 employees at its rail car repair shops in Topeka and 67 employees at its locomotive repair shops in San Bernardino, effective Jan. 2.
Bob Gehrt, a Santa Fe spokesman in Chicago, said the workers are being recalled in Topeka to restart the company’s heavy car repair program, mainly repairing jumbo covered hopper cars used to transport grain.
He said those workers were furloughed last April.
The San Bernardino workers are being recalled for repair work on heavy locomotives, Gehrt said.
