CN last Friday said Via’s recently arrived Siemens trainsets running between Montreal and Windsor, Ont., must lower their speed at public crossings.
No incidents at level crossings have been reported since the 16 Venture trains now in operation first hit the rails two years ago, he said.CN, which owns most of the tracks used by Via in Central Canada, says it made the decision when it learned the new trains were traversing routes they had previously steered clear of.However, an Aug. 26 CN bulletin obtained by The Canadian Press shows that the company was aware Venture trainsets were already running in Ontario.
Even before the slowdowns at crossings, delays were not uncommon at Via Rail. Only 59 per cent of Via trains reached their destination on time last year, and 57 per cent the year before.
