Union employees return to work at Wabtec on Monday.
It comes after both sides reached an agreement Wednesday for a 90-day deal to end the strike.
The strike started Feb. 26, the day after the merger between Wabtec and GE Transportation closed.
The current deal will maintain wages for current employees.
For now, the union is ready to get back to work until a longer deal can be ironed out.
"They're ready to go back to work," said Scott Slawson, president of UE Local 506. "They're ready to always produce product. That's why we're here; we're here to make the company money and make them successful because in the long run, that makes us successful."
The two sides are set to resume negotiations this week.
