    Just wanted to remind people that midnight tonight the strike starts for CN and CPKC and to honor them don't run any trains for the Oakville Sub division. Stand with the workers and honor them by obeying the strike if it happens.

    uuuhuh... no clue what exactly that's supposed to change but you do you, while others might just keep the virtual business alive.

    I don't at all see how playing Oakville on a game has anything to do with a strike.

    Does these mean we shouldn't drive ECML on Saturdays in September when that strike is on!

    Bizarre.

    I do not quite understand how not playing the Oakville route will help settle a strike.

    Also to add this by your logic we should not play any of the many CN or CP routes in TSC

    Good news! The Canadian government has heard the pleas of TSW's Oakville players and has ended the shutdown by forcing the railroads into arbitration. CN has lifted the lockout on the DLC, and players are free to resume their runs.

    The Canadian government stepping had nothing to do with us, it all came down to they did not want to a work stoppage that would have serious repercussions on a already fragile economy. I at this time I have not heard or can verify anything about CN back to work
