When did the railway strike start?

The origin of the Railroad Strike occurred in Martinsburg, West Virginia, at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) station on July 16, 1877. It was caused by a 10 percent wage cut which resulted in the workers deciding no train leaves the station until the wage cut was eliminated.
