well, I'd have to say that between the "holiday" and expected snowstorm, it will be hard-pressed to find anyone working that day to be happy they were.
while i am posting here, I will put the questions out about St. Patricks Day and Good Friday too. Will there be work then?
Come on, the railroad feeds America's needs and it is a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year. Even if trains don't run in one town, they are running elsewhere. I find it hard to believe if the railroad shuts down
Gettysburg, stop on 797

F40, the locals you are inquiring about will be working, although it is normally a paid holiday off. Framingham, Middleboro and Readville are still playing catch-up, so most locals will work.
As for Good Friday, that is a paid holiday and no locals will operate. St. Patty's Day is not a holiday for the company, so things will be on a normal schedule for that day.

Not sure if they are working, but if they do, don't be surprised if they go home after doing the chocolate.

oh ok, and the weather is going to be bad tomorrow any way
My car was in the shop for minor repairs near the Water Level Route in Rochester, NY earlier today. CSX was definitely quieter than usual, although I did see one train. The old Lincoln yard was empty- a good sign that CSX probably didn't have much to interchange with the Rochester & Southern today.
Obviously, I wasn't there all day so appearances might be deceiving...
