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.

The entire NJ Transit section at Manhattan's Penn Station was cordoned off Friday morning, with no trains moving in or out. Confused commuters across New Jersey funneled into alternate modes of mass transit, including coach buses, ferries and the PATH train.

The NJ Transit rail strike halts service statewide as talks with the locomotive engineers union stall. Officials urge swift, fair resolution.
