In Washington executives pursue a joint company and union loan to keep Rock Island Lines operating. About 10,000 hourly workers in 13 states face a 10 percent pay cut as a loan to the railroad, with management taking the cut automatically. Some workers question the plan while officials seek congressional aid and possible hearings to prevent shutdown of the 13th largest line.
