Will any major U.S. Class I freight railroad experience a labor strike lasting 48+ hours in 2026? Congress blocked a rail strike in December 2022 by forcing workers to accept contracts. Labor tensions remain high over scheduling, sick leave, and precision scheduled railroading. A rail strike would immediately collapse intermodal capacity and force freight to trucks, spiking spot rates 40-60% within days.
Active markets come first, followed by recently resolved calls from the same category.
