0:34Now PlayingAmtrak canceled all long-distance trains starting Thursday as White House-led talks between freight-rail companies and unions continued in a race to avoid a rail-system shutdown Friday.
The company has already started phased adjustments as a work stoppage could hurt passenger-rail services on the routes on which it operates on tracks owned and maintained by freight railroads, Amtrak said in a statement Wednesday. The Northeast Corridor route linking Washington, New York and Boston isn’t part of the planned shutdown, because Amtrak runs its own lines.
The fallout is growing even before the shutdown while the labor talks drag on and cargo operators pull back against the threat of a walkout by about 125,000 freight-rail workers come Friday. A strike would potentially cost the world’s biggest economy more than $2 billion a day.
