NJ Transit locomotive engineers initiated a strike just after midnight Friday, drastically impacting rail services for 350,000 daily commuters. Negotiations between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union and NJ Transit failed, resulting in a work stoppage that left all rail services suspended. The NJ Transit agency had already advised commuters to avoid travel during this period, urging those who could work from home to do so. Although rail service was halted, NJ Transit buses continued to operate, although with expected crowd increases due to the shutdown.
The strike began at 12:01 a.m. Friday without an agreement between locomotive engineers and NJ Transit, halting service for 350,000 commuters.
At least 100,000 passengers will be impacted by the strike, which halts NJ Transit rail service and Metro-North west of Hudson.
