The New Jersey Transit strike has ended after a deal was reached.
The engineers strike halted trains across the state for four days impacting hundreds of thousands of riders who rely on the system.
Specific details of the new agreement were not released, but it is said to be fair and fiscally responsible.
The service will follow the strike contingency plan until fully restarting Tuesday.
The agency said it needs around 24 hours to preposition equipment and conduct safety checks on hundreds of trains and rail lines that have not been in use since Thursday.
The last NJ Transit strike was back in 1983 and it lasted about three weeks. There was a potential strike in 2016. That one was averted just a day before it was scheduled to begin.
