Rail strike prompts emergency transport authority proposal
Chairman George M Stafford says the agency will seek emergency power to move passengers and freight by truck and bus if a rail strike occurs. Trucking sources estimate a large shift of shipments could follow amid weak economic conditions and idle tracks.
