Via Rail says its trains are back on schedule after a freight train derailment delayed trips between Toronto and Montreal or Ottawa for hours on Saturday. The widespread delays occurred after two cars at the back of a CN Rail train carrying paper derailed just east of Kingston, Ont., at 1:20 p.m. The incident caused hours of delays for rail passengers across the province on Saturday, but Via spokeswoman Marie-Anna Murat says there are now no delays expected between Toronto and Montreal or Ottawa.
