All Commuter Rail/VIA stopped as Canadian National network fries

GO train and UP Express service has been temporarily suspended amid a “network-wide system failure” impacting all CN rail corridors.

Metrolinx says that trains are currently holding at the nearest station due to the issue.

So far no timeline has been provided for the resumption of service.

GO train service is expected to be back to normal on Wednesday morning following a “network-wide system failure” brought service to a standstill on Tuesday afternoon.

In a statement provided to CP24 late Tuesday night, the provincial transportation agency said that passengers may experience "some delays and modifications as we work to move our trains and crews back into place after today’s CN outage."

"We are committed to providing as much notice as possible to customers regarding any schedule changes but are encouraging all travellers to check our Service Updates page before heading out the door," said Metrolinx, which thanked all customers for their "patience today as we worked with CN to resolve this major issue."

The online outage was first reported just before 1:45 p.m. on Tueday and initially saw all GO and UP Express trains holding at their nearest station.[/quote[
