pipeline project spread Monday, bringing commuter rail traffic to a halt on a line near Montreal as train lines continued to be blocked in other parts of the country. Service on the Montreal line was disrupted by opponents of the Coastal GasLink pipeline project that crosses the traditional territory of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation in northwestern British Columbia. Rail service between Toronto and Ottawa is also affected. Via Rail said another blockade near Hazelton, B.C., is blocking its service between Prince Rupert and Prince George. CN Rail operates both rail lines where Via Rail service has been halted, and it says freight traffic has been paralyzed.
