Background

About Christopher Palmieri

I am passionate about all aspects of the railroad industry and have a strong desire to position myself as a leader in this sector. To that end, I have methodically varied my experiences to form a well-balanced foundation for what I expect will continue to be an exciting and rewarding railroad career. The scope of my experience includes employment with three railroads in three categories: Short Line, Passenger, and Class I freight. Individual positions I have held within these organizations have given depth to my railroading skill-set resulting in extensive first hand knowledge and experience in- Coal (mine loading, terminal processing, utility spacing)- Intermodal (Ramp coordination, line prioritization, baretable planning)- Manifest (Hump and Flat terminals)- Grain (shuttle and non-shuttle)- Commuter Rail (NMRX and MNRX Startups - Operations oversight - Metra, Metrolink, Sounder, AMTK California, New Mexico Railrunner, Minneapolis Northstar)- Long-Distance Passenger - Dispatching (NOC)- Terminal Ops:(Fresno, Argentine, Ft Worth, Saginaw, Lincoln, Gainesville)- Supervising Helper Districts - Division Operations (PWR, PNW, KAN, CAL, TEX, and NEB Divisions in the Field and System-Wide in the NOC)- Network Operations (Field and NOC)- Contract Adherence -(Labor Agreements, Customer Agreements, NRPC Contract)- Maintenance Planning and Execution (Routine to Production Gang)- Leadership (Best of the Best)- Service Interruption Recovery (Have responded to and recovered from: Fatalities (employee and trespasser), Injuries, Derailments, Collisions (Train vs. Train and Train vs. Vehicle), Fire, Flood, Mud Slide, Chemical Release, Hump Outage, High Winds, etc.)- Stress Management (Powder River, Nor Cal, Argentine, System Pass.
