NJ Transit trains could stop running at 12:01 a.m. Friday if locomotive engineers go on strike over the salary increase they want​.

Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday night that he's "hoping for the best but preparing for the worst" regarding a possible NJ Transit rail strike.

After a whirlwind three days of diverting tens of thousands of people from NJ Transit's rail system, the agency reached a tentative deal with its locomotive engineers to end a historic strike that sent shockwaves statewide — just in time for the work week.
