Here's how the freight rail strike could affect you
CNN
The US economy can keep running without freight trains — but not for long.
That is why the risk of the first national railroad strike in 30 years is so worrying to economists and businesses.A brief work stoppage — some previous rail strikes have lasted only hours — likely won't cause much economic disruption.
But a prolonged walkout of a week or more will cripple the nation's still struggling supply chain, cause widespread shutdowns and shortages, and likely further drive up prices even as inflation remains near a 40-year high.
