About 140 engineers and conductors at the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway went on strike on November 11 over the railroad's use of managers to perform conductors' work. The union says this violates its collective bargaining agreement and a 2013 federal court order.
The regional freight network covers 840 miles across four states.
