NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Talks aimed at settling a strike between train engineers and New Jersey's huge commuter railroad will pick up on Saturday and continue Sunday, New Jersey Transit CEO Kris Kolluri said. The locomotive engineers' strike began Friday at the rail system with 350,000 daily riders and left commuters either working from home or searching for other ways to travel across the state or over the Hudson River to New York City. Kolluri spoke Saturday at Newark's Broad Street Station, saying the agency is preparing for the workweek commute by “surging” buses to help commuters at train stations.
