Shutdown of US’s largest commuter rail system enters second day amid strike

Long Island Rail Road disruptions likely to affect weekday rush hour as Kathy Hochul says I did not want a strike'

The shutdown of the Long Island Rail Road, North America's largest commuter rail system, continued into a second day on Sunday after unionized workers went on strike a day earlier for the first time in three decades.

The railroad, which serves New York City and its eastern suburbs, ceased operations just after midnight Friday after five unions representing about half its workforce walked off the job.
