NEW ENGINEERING SETUP EMPHASIZES DIVISIONAL AUTONOMY

Chessie System has reorganized its maintenance of way organization so that system officers coordinate major maintenance activities, construction projects and rail laying, but regional and division offices have primary responsibility for directing and coordinating field forces and for efficient utilization of available resources. Each division has a staff constituted to make it self-sufficient in initiating and carrying out all construction and maintenance work on the division. Major projects are handled either at system or regional level.
