North Jersey rail strike spreads concern over city operations
Rail workers in Haven & Sturtford and Cedar Hill yards near New Haven struck, with New York and New Jersey origins seen as unlikely to spread locally. The Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads faced the heaviest impact while embargoes limited shipments on the Schuylkill division. Authorities reported 185 Pennsylvanian workers on strike, mostly yardmen and brakemen, with a few engineers and firemen. Transportation groups moved to clear city piers and shift freight by truck, as longshore and coastal lines adjusted to the disruption.
