Last call for the ghost train to Jersey. Normally bustling transit terminals were eerily empty Friday as NJ Transit engineers went on strike, bringing rail services across the state to a grinding halt and leaving hubs like Penn Station in New York eerily devoid of Garden State travelers. The platforms at the Manhattan transit stop had a post-apocalyptic feel during the early Friday rush hour after the NJ Transit engineers walked off the job over a pay dispute, triggering the first strike to hit the major transport system in more than 40 years.
