There is a self-inflicted manpower shortage on the Class 1 Railroads, but also the opportunity for one of them to become dominant

One of the biggest if not the prime reason for the supply-chain shortages facing Americans today is the lack of manpower and rolling stock on the Class 1 Freight Railroads. It is a result of a self-inflicted wound on the part of the Railroad. The problem facing the Class I's right now is the fact that they implemented the Un-American, economy-killing, corporate-raiding business model of the psychopath Railroad Tycoon E. Hunter Harrison...known as "Precision Scheduled Railroading" which intentionally cut workforces and rolling stock in the years leading up to "the Pandemic" in order to artificially jack the stock price in the short term. Both Trump and Biden failed to intervene and stop "Precision Scheduled Railroading", which is a direct threat to our economic national security since the Railroads are in fact the lifeblood of the economy. Now the Railroads do not have the manpower, infrastructure or locomotives to get the Economy back to life. It's a perfect storm that will lead to Depression if someone doesn't get it under control fast. This Government-forced Vaccine Mandate would have only made this situation worse as many Railroaders would have simply retired early or quit.
Thank God the Supreme Court ruled the way they did, but the fact is that the ruling does not prevent private businesses from implementing their own mandates. I learned recently from a relative who works for CSX Railroad that CSX will be implementing their own Vaccine Mandate. Given the manpower shortage across all of the Class 1 Railroads operating in America today, such a decision by CSX presents the other 3 Class 1 Railroads here with a tremendous opportunity to hire the many CSX employees who will now look for work with another Railroad. BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern: one of these will become the dominant North American Railroad, with a corresponding increase in stock price, if they seize this opportunity and implement Mandate-Free Policies going forward.
