What kind of impacts are we expecting from the potential railroad strike. I assume hard to get some items. (Back to the store to get toilet paper, lol) Increase in diesel prices because trucks trying to take up the slack? Anything else?

Anything that can be transported by truck I'm fairly sure can and is also transported by train. Passing by a lot of freight trains out here I noticed many unit types and numbers consistent with trailers hauled by truck.

Anything else? 1/3 of American freight moves by train, including some of the truck freight on intermodal trains. There are not enough trucks, nor fuel to pick up the slack.

It will get real ugly if there is a rail strike that lasts any length of time. Prepare as you can. Do it quickly. Make sure your family and neighbors do as well.
