The railway had faced a potential strike today by the workers represented by the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers.
Details of the tentative four-year agreement, which still must be ratified, were not immediately available.
Workers had voted 95% in favour of a strike if a deal could not be reached.
The union had said it was pushing for better work-life balance and higher pay.
The current collective agreement between the union and the railway expired on Dec. 31.
