Just what we don't need, this nations railroads shutting down.
I read the article, but since the article is political how is it possible to respond without the thread becoming political resulting in it being taken down?
Best left alone.

well said John JUST LEAVE IT....
Without getting into the article itself (which isn't exactly neutral), my guess will be given the economic situation and supply chain issues already being as bad as they are, they will end up putting a mandatory cooling off period on this to prevent a strike, if the unions themselves don't put it off.
My advice: Just read the Railway Age article and take it for what it reports. Time will tell how accurate it is. No need to get your personal politics involved or to respond with those sentiments.
Ya not trying to get political per se, but I would note that Railway Age isn't a railfan-oriented magazine like Trains or Railfan & Railroad, but rather a magazine geared towards railroad executives / management, so may have a bit of a 'slant' to their stories.
Also, not clear how any of this would result in railroads going bankrupt, forcing the government to recreate Conrail? NMB is there to help resolve management/labor disputes to try to prevent strikes or lockouts from happening.
