CN Railway and engineers, who have been without a contract for a year and who have been on strike since last week, have reached an agreement to go back to work.  In what CNR said, "was a good faith effort to reach a settlement, they offered to agree to binding arbitration on wage and benefit issues, and roll-back the 4,300-mile monthly cap for locomotive engineers to 3,800 miles, on the condition that the TCRC withdraws its work-rule demands from the bargaining table."

It's not clear exactly how much pressure the recently threatened 'back-to-work' legislation put on both parties, but it seems like it was enough to end the strike quickly.
