Via Rail Service Resumes

Via has resumed its rail service to St Marys. On Monday, due to bad weather, a Goderich-Exeter Railway freight train was stuck outside of St Marys blocking the track between Kitchener and London. At the same time the 401 was closed at Woodstock so VIA was unable to provide an alternate bus service for its passengers. On Tuesday buses were available when the roads were reopened and today with the clearance of track rail service is back to normal.

Goderich-Exeter Railway, based in Kitchener, is a short line freight railway that operates 169 miles of track in Southwestern Ontario.
