With every warehouse in CA already full of stuff due to the trucker's strike, where are they going to put more stuff?
They will need to halt unloading the dozens of ships waiting off the west coast.
And it's not just a freight problem, millions of people commute to work on trains.
Metra, which operates 11 commuter rail lines in the Chicago area, warned its customers in a statement Tuesday that "a potential work stoppage by freight railroad workers" could "directly impact" its "ability to operate most of its services."
Metra's 11 rail lines carried an average of 36 million passengers annually.
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, which operates the Altamont Commuter Express in California almost entirely on Union Pacific Railroad tracks between Stockton and San Jose, expects to reduce service Thursday and fully suspend it Friday.
The Maryland Transportation Authority, which operates the MARC train on CSX tracks with about 250,000 monthly riders in the Baltimore-Washington area, warned riders Monday afternoon that its Camden and Brunswick lines will be suspended until a resolution to the potential strike.
One of the biggest strikes in US history is brewing at UPS
While there are competing services at FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and Amazon's own delivery service, none of them have the capacity to handle more than a small fraction of the 21.5 million U.S. packages that UPS moves daily.
