New Jersey rail lines stood silent for a second day as union members and state officials agreed to keep hammering out a contract Sunday as the start of the work week loomed.

The striking engineers have complained that their counterparts at other railroads that serve New York City earn at least $10 more per hour.

Officials are asking New Jersey Transit riders to work from home, if possible, Monday as the transit system prepares to resume services Tuesday now that the locomotive engineer strike is over.

A tentative deal between NJ Transit and its locomotive engineers has ended New Jersey’s first statewide rail strike in more than 40 years, with full service set to return Tuesday, officials said Sunday night.
