NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen have reportedly reached a deal to end the rail strike.

Negotiators for New Jersey Transit and the union representing 450 striking engineers have reached a tentative labor agreement that could bring an end to the strike that began Friday, according to TK

The union, known as BLET, was seeking pay comparable to the wages made by engineers at other nearby railroads, including Long Island Rail Road. NJ Transit, which has long had shaky finances, was trying to avoid blowing a hole in its own budget.
