BOWMANVILLE, Ont. — Regular service was to resume Sunday on Via Rail routes east of Toronto after a derailment of a CN Rail train near Bowmanville.
The derailment on Saturday afternoon disrupted travel plans for upwards of 1,500 passengers as Via Rail, which uses the same tracks, was forced to cancel all its trains between Toronto and Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa in both directions.
A Via official said in an email some 700 people were on trains that were halted as a result of the CN derailment near Bowmanville and were taken to their destinations using alternate means.
A spokesman for CN said that seven cars of a westbound CN train derailed Saturday, but Brent Kossey said no injuries were reported and no dangerous goods were involved in the derailment.
He said the cause of the derailment is currently under investigation.
On Sunday morning, Via tweeted that service would resume but delays should be expected.
The rail company said service between Montreal and Ottawa was not affected.
