About 140 engineers and conductors at the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway, represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, went on strike on Nov. 11 with picket lines set up at key locations.
The union says the railroad breached its contract by using managers as conductors, which it considers a major dispute under the Railway Labor Act.
The strike affects a regional railroad covering 840 miles across the Northeast and Midwest, which could slow some intermodal and grain traffic. The scale is small relative to national rail networks, so the effect on feed prices should be minor.
