Morning service on NJ Transit’s rail lines was back on track Tuesday following an engineers strike this weekend — and back to old ways as a stranded Amtrak train caused delays into Penn Station.

The resumption of rail service came after NJ Transit train crews spent Monday performing safety inspections and moving rail equipment into place following a handshake deal on a contract Sunday that ended a three-day long strike by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
The engineers had walked off the job first thing Friday morning after contract talks stalled Thursday evening
