CSX (CSX) eliminated 166 management positions, representing about 5% of its non-union workforce, FreightWaves reported Thursday, citing an internal message to employees.

The railroad reportedly furloughed 193 conductors and placed another 157 in unassigned status following weekly job bid openings.

The cuts were necessary to streamline the organization due to difficult economic conditions, the news outlet quoted Chief Executive Steve Angel as saying.

Other cost-reduction measures include scaling back employee travel and trimming extra boards, along with a reduction in management benefits, FreightWaves reported.

CSX did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
