For three days in May, the busiest commuter railroad in the country simply stopped. The Long Island Rail Road strike began at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, knocked out service for roughly 300,000 daily riders, and turned a normal week into a scramble of shuttle buses, packed subway transfers and a lot of people suddenly working from home.

3,500 workers shut down the nation’s busiest railroad for three days. They walked away with raises and a $3,000 check
