Trains are set to start rolling again on the Long Island Rail Road after a deal was reached to end a strike that had shut down the busiest commuter rail system in the country.
Commuters in the New York City suburbs will still have to muddle through another tough morning rush hour Tuesday.
Trains won’t be running in time for the commute into work.
The strike that began Saturday was the first walkout for the LIRR since a two-day strike in 1994.
Around 250,000 riders typically travel each weekday on the train system, which connects Manhattan with Long Island as well as parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
