[net.railroad] AT&SF strike

cb@mitre-bedford.ARPA (Christopher Byrnes) (05/09/86)

  Last Monday I read in the paper about a strike on the AT&SF over job
security issues.  The article also mentioned that Amtrak was forced to
cancel service on several runs over the AT&SF.  I was thinking about
taking a train trip west in a few weeks on the "Super Chief" line to
L.A., but now I'm worried about winding up on a bus or worse for the
transcontinental trip.  I've seen nothing in the local papers since
about this strike, so could some of you out West tell me if any progress has
been made in solving this strike?  Thanks.

According to the news reports, the strike is over.  AT&SF & the unions
resolved the problem.  I have heard nothing about Amtrack service, but I
assume it is being restored.
