NJ Transit rail workers went on strike for the first time since 1983, causing service disruptions just before a busy weekend in New York City. Engineers halted operations, prompting many to work remotely.

NJ Transit is expected to offer limited bus support. Wages are a key issue in the negotiations, which involve federal mediation set for Sunday.
