What's next? The president ordering the railroads unions to get back to work or nationalizing the railroad system after the supply line shock of a shutdown? I would be getting ready for shortages real soon if this can't be solved.

When it rains it's pours.

Also unprecedented is a release from mediation in an election year, setting up a possible nationwide rail shutdown just weeks prior to November congressional elections. As Congress traditionally acts to end national rail shutdowns through legislation imposing a third-party settlement of wage, benefits and work rules disputes, lawmakers are loathe to cast what are politically problematic votes just ahead of constituents heading to the polls.
