Teamsters with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) and their union coalition have reached a tentative agreement with Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) to end the carrier's first strike in over three decades.

The MTA said limited hourly train service will resume at noon Tuesday on four branches: Babylon, Huntington, Ronkonkoma and Port Jefferson. Officials expect normal service to return systemwide by 8 p.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) announced the agreement, bringing relief to the nearly 250,000 daily riders who depend on the nation's largest commuter rail system.

New York's MTA and unions representing thousands of Long Island Rail Road workers reached a tentative agreement late Monday, ending the strike.

New York City’s Monday morning commute turned to chaos this week as Long Island Rail Road workers continued their strike for higher wages. LIRR workers began picketing on Saturday after negotiations between their unions and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority reached an impasse.

LIRR train services are suspended due to a strike, causing travel disruptions for passengers heading to LaGuardia Airport. Authorities advise using alternative public transport, including subway lines and bus services,
