The Amtrak schedule through Chicago has been changed after thousands of railroad workers threatened to go on strike.
On Tuesday morning, talks are taking place in Washington, even including the president, to avoid a rail strike, as unions representing engineers and conductors negotiate with the nation's biggest freight railroads.Passenger service and supply chains could come to a halt, costing the economy an estimated $2 billion per day.
Amtrak is preemptively canceling trips on multiple routes that go through Chicago, including Southwest Chief, Empire Builder, City of New Orleans, Lake Shore Limited, Texas Eagle and the Zephyr, even though the strike won't affect its workforce. Amtrak announced Tuesday afternoon several additional long-distance routes that are being pre-emptively canceled, including Chicago to New Orleans, Boston/New York to Chicago, and San Antonio to Chicago."We won't be able to visit my kids if it stops, and everybody out of work, sorry about that, but I'll miss my family," said Andrea Sawicki, an Amtrak commuter.
