Union Railroad Co. and the United Transportation Union have reached a tentative agreement covering wages and work rules.
"Contract details will be released after language is perfected and submitted to the membership for ratification," said UTU Vice President Kim Thompson — who assisted in negotiations — in a prepared statement.
