Dear csx-dispatcher, I really don't think the BLE and Teamsters will merge, at least not anytime soon. My reasons are thus: 1.) Trucking is the railroads' largest competitor, and vice-versa. If the two were to combine, the new union would probably have internal squabling and would be inneficient. But they said similar things about Penn-Central, and it happened. 2.) The two new groops it would be representing have broadly different needs. It would be like putting locomotive engineers and airline pilots in the same union. 3.) What incentives would they have to merge? It would seem to be more logical to maintain their seperation. Having just said this, I feel obliged to point out that I am not an expert, nor am I a locomotive engineer (except in Train-Simulator), teamster, or anything else except a railfan which would put me in a good position to make this analysis, so really what I'm saying in this very long sentence is: it could happen. They said Penn-Central was less likely than a political union between the USA and USSR, or so I hear. See you around the forum, Daniel
