Federal rail regulators are monitoring the use of embargoes


🚂 Federal rail regulators are monitoring the use of embargoes.

Rail regulators do not generally like increased use of embargoes, or temporary suspensions of rail service, because they can disrupt the flow of goods and cause significant economic and logistical challenges for shippers and other stakeholders. Embargoes can cause delays in the delivery of goods, leading to increased costs and lost revenue for shippers. They can also make it difficult for businesses to plan their operations and supply chains, as they may not know when service will be restored. Embargoes can also cause a backlog of railcars at origin and destination, leading to equipment and capacity constraints.
