CN [Canadian National] also uses a system which is referred to as "whitemanning" which allows it to send a surplus of employees at one terminal to an adjacent terminal. For example, in such a scenario employees in Kamloops, B.C., would be running trains that the Vancouver crews would normally take to Kamloops. ... "whitemanning" is the first thing CN turns to in case of a shortage, because it is a lot "cheaper" financially than forcing employees to cover a shortage.
