New Jersey rail lines stood silent for a second day as union members and state officials agreed to keep hammering out a contract Sunday as the start of the work week loomed.

The striking engineers have complained that their counterparts at other railroads that serve New York City earn at least $10 more per hour.

Officials are asking New Jersey Transit riders to work from home, if possible, Monday as the transit system prepares to resume services Tuesday now that the locomotive engineer strike is over.

New Jersey Transit CEO Kris Kolluri's salary has come under scrutiny as engineers began a strike that could disrupt travel more than 300,000 commuters on Friday. Newsweek reached out to NJ Transit via phone call on Friday.

A meeting to try to settle the NJ Transit strike is scheduled for Saturday, a day earlier than originally planned.
