PALESTINE, Texas (KLTV) - A group of current and retired Palestine railroad workers are fighting to keep Union Pacific from leaving town.
The railroad announced in April that they would be closing the Palestine railcar shop by June 14, 2021. A Union Pacific spokesperson confirmed that as many as 57 jobs will be eliminated.
The closure announcement comes after a recent federal court ruling that nullified a 1954 agreement which required the railroad to keep a certain number of jobs in Palestine as long as the trains came through town.
