As of 12:01 a.m. Friday morning, NJ Transit rail engineers are on strike, the union says, bringing much of the train service to a screeching halt. NJ Transit rail service will be fully shut down, along with Metro-North's west of Hudson service. The strike is expected to inconvenience more than 300,000 daily commuters. The last NJ Transit strike was back in 1983, and it lasted about three weeks. Most recently, there was a potential strike in 2016, but it was averted just a day before it was scheduled to begin.
