I wish there was more focus on the reasons why arbitration had to be forced. Our rail and its workers, and therefore our entire economy, is held hostage by two (two!!) companies. I think it’s high time they were split up.

Break them up to encourage competition and electrification.

It could be public but then that’s one company holding it up

We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?

The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.

Yes but that’s a separate issue and exists to keep truckers employed
