A rail strike is looming in the U.S. and if the groups involved don't reach an agreement by Thursday night, some services could be shut down. Here's everything you need to know about how it will impact the Bay Area.
Once the strike starts on Friday, ACE train will suspend all service until an agreement is reached.
Despite not being involved in negotiations, companies like ACE, Caltrain and Amtrak operate on freight railroads and cannot safely operate if there's no agreement.ACE service could be suspended as soon as Thursday with the latest morning and evening trains suspended to ensure no trains are on the corridor by the agreement deadline.Certain long-distance Amtrak interruptions will be felt like trains connecting Sacramento and San Francisco.
"Not only are there passenger impacts during this potential worker stoppage but even beyond the passenger impacts are the pretty significant freight and goods movement impacts on the freight railroad which may also even be an even more impetus for this to be resolved fairly quickly," Lipari said. 30% of all goods transported are on freight rail and the railroad trade group has said trucks cannot keep up with demand.
