Train reductions force pool crews and new schedules
Passenger train annulments on the Pennsylvania railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading Railway trigger major changes in crew handling. Reading freight crews switch to a pool system, with pay cuts around Christmas as schedules edge back to normal. Pooling will extend to passenger crews with no fixed running timetable for now. Restrictions depend on miners returning to work and may last several days.
