Fictional Railroads (part 4)
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, April 28, 2004 3:03 PM
With the merger of the APRC, set aside BBE's future is still at stake. [V][:(] Most Fictional railroads don't live long (due to mergers, bankupty) this merger will take place in the year 2016 and will effect both railroads. StandAlone (the big boss of all railroads) might replace BBE and APRC and a flurry of angry workers from both railroads ralyed around the StandAlone Tower in protest [:(!] [censored] and that action forced the yard to close but the yard workers were not involed. Wiltwyck Yard only stayed open for 49 hours before been shut down due to the protest. The trains on the Mohove Sub that was due to Wiltwyck was re-routed to Spring Hill yard some 50 miles. All the railroads felt the pressure but delt with this problem. The on-going problem will be handled by StandAlone Some solution will be made that will only affect one railroad but who? BBE's fate lays on StandAlone's Hands...

This so-called strike happened when StandAlone wanted to buy the BBE while merging with APRC and keep the profits. Many of the workers didn't like this idea and protested until a solution was seltled. This strike didn't last long because it took place at Wiltwyck Yard. So most of the fussing happend at the StandAlone Tower. 250 trains were affected by this strike and had no choice but to store trains on the siding but this caused trains to backup as far as Hornberry. after the strike was over, as many as 200 trains poured into Wiltwyck Yard like bees in the beehive.
