A blockade on a rail line in eastern Ontario has halted service along one of Via Rail’s busiest routes and led to numerous cancellations. Spokesman Karl-Philip Marchand Giguere did not provide reasons for the blockade, which prompted the rail provider to suspend all travel between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal on Friday. He said trains are standing by and the agency is prepared to resume regular service when the tracks are cleared. The company said it is monitoring the situation, but offered no other details. Ontario provincial police have also said they’re monitoring the situation, but there have been no arrests.
