What I learned when railroads hit the news was that they used to be a single mile long with two conductors. Now they're three miles long, and the company wants one conductor. The bypass rails are designed for one mile trains. Which means there's no going around a stopped train anymore.
And, the work to rule method they said they were going to use was requiring safety checks as often as possible. Which stops the trains until the correct specific person can get to the train, and check a 3 mile long train.
