Commuter railroads in the Tri-State region do not expect to be impacted by a possible Friday freight rail strike.
About 60,000 railroad workers are set to go on strike Friday if their union reps can't come to an agreement on a new contract with rail companies. It would be the first national railroad strike in 30 years.
NJ Transit runs a small section of its Raritan Valley Line, between Cranford and Newark, on Conrail tracks. A small section of the Atlantic City Rail Line also runs on Conrail tracks. But NJ Transit has been assured by Conrail that there will be no impacts by a Friday strike.
