📰 News we're reading

• BLET, D&H Ratify New Agreement (railwayage.com) — Rail workers based in Green Island’s BLET Division 87 have ratified a new three‑year contract with Delaware and Hudson Railway, locking in wage increases through 2027 without changing work rules or health benefits. For local railroad families, this means predictable raises and stability in pay and benefits over the next several years.
