The Long Island Rail Road slowly crawled back into action Tuesday after the MTA cut a deal with transit unions that ended a strike that shuttered the service for three days.
After announcing the deal just before 9 p.m. Monday, the LIRR spent the following morning getting crews back into position to run service. Transit officials said service would resume Tuesday on the Babylon, Huntington/Port Jefferson, Port Washington and Ronkonkoma branches in both directions just after noon.
