VIA Rail services are slowly resuming across the country.

The Ocean line that runs between Montreal and Halifax will be running again on Friday, February 28th.

VIA says it continues to works with CN Rail to ensure normal service can be returned to all other routes as well.

Earlier this month, VIA Rail and CN shutdown down trains across the country, due to blockades in protest of the Coast Gas Link in British Columbia, that is running through Wet’suwet’en First Nation land.
