Rail traffic in Corry and surrounding lines collapsed as yard workers strike. Officials warned a widespread walkout could halt express and freight movement from Erie to Jamestown, with Buffalo and Pittsburgh division shipments largely halted and local plants bracing for limited supply of fuel and raw materials.
