New Jersey Transit and its locomotive engineers reached an agreement on a new contract, ending a three-day transit strike that disrupted trains for thousands of riders.

NJ Transit said service will resume on Tuesday as it takes about 24 hours to get the system back up and running. The transit agency urged commuters to work from home on Monday.
