Via Rail says the restrictions CN imposed on Oct. 11 are causing daily delays on Via Rail's Québec City-Windsor corridor, affecting thousands of passengers.

RELATED: Via Rail CEO says late trains to Halifax ‘elephant in the room’ as service modernizes – Sep 23, 2024said in a statement Wednesday that it’s seeking the review from the Federal Court because CN hasn’t provided any evidence or valid reasoning for the change.

Via says CN did not follow the necessary procedure for the changes and it’s challenging the lack of transparency and fairness in CN’s approach.CN spokeswoman Ashley Michnowski said in a statement that the company imposed the restrictions at rail crossings given the industry’s experience and known risks associated with trains similar to the ones Via has put into service.

The new trains have been shuttling between Montreal and Ottawa since November 2022 and between Montreal and Toronto since last October.
