A union’s vote against ratification of a tentative national agreement between workers and the nation’s Class I freight railroads could lead to a rail strike.

BNSF Railway said it plans to invest more than $1.5 billion to construct a state-of-the-art master-planned rail facility in Southern California – and the first being developed by a Class I railroad.

Billions in economic losses and disruptions to everyday lives of Americans loom with a potential U.S. freight rails strike at the end of the week.
