Are their Engineers, Conductors, and Trainmen members of the same unions as those involved with the current labor negotiations?

Not really relevant. If they are not party to the national agreement, they are not party to the dispute even if they are in the same union. It's a different set of employers and employees, and the agreements in question are not related. Think of if Costco and Kroger employees were represented by the same union (I don't even know if both have a union, but just roll with the analogy), Costco workers are not walking out if there is a strike against Kroger.

Author: Earlk The D&S and C&TS are non-union railroads, as are almost all tourist operations.
Anyone out there know of a tourist line with union representation? Date: 09/14/22 18:11 Re: Will the C&TS or D&S shut down with the strike ? Author: splitreduction LOL I think the strike is for the real railroaders.

Back in the 1970's both the California Western and Sierra RR were union shops, but they were "diesel fireghts on weekdays, steam passenger on weekends" railroads.

There is a tourist railroad in the east, that involves a serious mountain grade. In the ranks of that railroads' roster of engineers (who came from "Real Railroaders") are guys who refuse to handle a train unless the lead unit is equipped with dynamic brakes.

Real railroading in measured in much more than just the grade of the track…….
