Updated 2:20 p.m. -- Virginia Railway Express trains could stay in the station on Friday as a nationwide railroad strike looms.

The state's only commuter railroad warns of canceled trains on both lines, from Fredericksburg and Manassas to Washington, D.C. The lines are owned by freight railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern, respectively, and without train dispatchers monitoring the traffic on those lines, VRE trains cannot operate.

"Any labor strike would result in the immediate suspension of all Virginia Railway Express train service until a resolution is reached," VRE penned notice to riders.
