In Cheyenne Wyoming on June 1 thirty workers in the Union Pacific shops were furloughed as a temporary measure. Officials attribute the reduction to fewer repairs needed as newer engines dominate the fleet. They note total staff this period is about 600, up from 540 last year, with summer layoffs expected but winter demand higher. The car repair and blacksmith shops are unaffected. The machine shop will gain workers to resume testing and rework.
