A nationwide freight rail shutdown is also impacting some commuter routes in and out of Toronto. Metrolinx said one of its GO train routes is suspended entirely.
Commuters heading into Toronto from the west could be facing a travel dilemma Thursday as the effects of a historic freight rail strike also bite on passenger services.All trains on the Milton line are suspended “due to the interruption of rail traffic services provided by Canadian Pacific Kansas City,” Metrolinx said. Meanwhile, service on the Lakeshore West line will terminate at West Harbour GO, around 1.5 kilometres east of its Hamilton GO terminus.
Freight trains across Canada came to a grinding halt on Thursday morning when roughly 9,000 railway employees ceased work, with strikes and lockouts on the table.
