NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – NJ Transit rail service is suspended for a third day as locomotive engineers continue their strike.
The strike started Friday, kicking off the transit system's first stoppage since 1983. Negotiations continue between NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, who are scheduled to meet with a federal mediator Sunday, NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri said.
