Early this morning representatives from the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference and Canadian Pacific Railway agreed to final and binding arbitration in order to end the brief work stoppage.

Over 3,000 conductors, engineers, and train and yard workers will be back on the job at Noon local time after the agreement.

The union says the two sides haven't reached an agreement on wages and pensions yet while the railway says binding arbitration will let it resume its essential services for its customers and the North American supply chain.

A statement from CP Rail says it will immediately begin working with customers to resume normal train operations across Canada as soon as possible.
