About 140 BLET engineers and conductors at the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway walked off the job on November 12 after the railroad assigned managers to perform conductor work. The union set up picket lines across the 840-mile network, which serves steel mills and industrial customers in Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The W&LE network is regional and mainly serves steel and industrial freight, so direct impact on feed grain flows is limited. It adds to rail labor risk in the US Midwest and Northeast, which could marginally raise freight costs for grain and oilmeal movements.
