A former forestry railway employee opines that the new operators don't really care at all about the railroad, and have forced out a number of older employees transferred from the Forestry Bureau with such tactics as transfers, pay reductions, and compulsory unpaid "vacation." Since the transfer of control, staff has been slashed from 200 to 146.
也有原森鐵員工透露，新東家似乎無心經營鐵道，還以職務調動、減薪、無薪假等方式，逼退他們這些由林務局轉任的老員工；森鐵易手僅僅一年，員工數已由 200 人銳減為 146 人。
