GO Transit’s corridors affected, with trains held at nearest stations
A network-wide system failure at Canadian National Railway Co. has affected rail corridors and forced Toronto-area commuter trains to be halted, Ontario regional transit operator Metrolinx said on Tuesday.
“There is a CN network-wide system failure that is affecting all of our rail corridors. Trains will continue to hold at the nearest stations,” GO Transit parent Metrolinx said in a statement.
GO Transit is the regional public transit service for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in Ontario. Its trains and buses serve a population of more than seven million people across a more than 11,000-square-kilometre-area, according to GO’s website.
Metrolinx said it was working with CN to resolve the issue, and that it was recommending passengers take alternative travel options.
CN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
