INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Train and engine service workers at the Utah Central Railway have voted to join the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, the union has announced — the seventh short line to join the union since 2023.
The vote, certified by the National Mediation Board in December, was unanimous, the union said in a press release.
The Utah Central operates 19 miles of railway in three disconnected segments in the Ogden, Utah, area, interchanging with BNSF and Union Pacific. It is one of 31 Patriot Rail short lines, having been acquired in 2008, and is the first Patriot Rail property to be unionized, the BLET says.
