sources close to the talks say if the pension issue can be fixed, the strike will not happen. if a strike does happen, it will affect septa buses, trolleys and trains. the regional rails will not be affected. a union spokesman says if there is a strike, we will hear from the union at 12:05 a.m. a medical mystery is being investigated in montgomery county. it's a lung infection that has been linked to water. >> the illness is rare but the number of patients is growing. >> reporter: the unlikely victims are white, thin, post menopausal women who live in affluent neighborhoods around the main line. it's a lung infection similar to tuberculosis that's caused by a bacteria found all over, in soil, the air, and mainly in water. >> this is in all of our water. we're all exposed to it every day when we take a shower.
