Pulling back a slightly older topic for this discovery, don't think anyone else caught it yet. The Crescent jobs are going to be changing effective Wednesday. For the bids in Zone 5 that closed tonight the Washington South Engineers will now work WAS-LYH, as opposed to the previous CVS. They haven't changed the existing CLT jobs yet, my guess is to get the WAS Engineers qualified down to LYH over the next couple of months. It seems to appear though that the jobs will be setup so that Engineers will work WAS-LYH on the Regional and then work LYH-WAS on 20. Their counterparts will work WAS-LYH on 19 and then work the Regional back. This will make for better layovers for the crews and give them some additional rest. I don't know how these Conductors jobs will be setup, but I imagine they will mirror the Engineers jobs. A similar arrangement exists with the RVR-RGH Engineers where they work 79-92 and 91-80.
