VIA Rail received a notification from CN allowing a partial resumption of service between Québec City – Montréal – Ottawa.
Beginning Thursday morning, February 20, only those trains that serve full trips between Québec City and Ottawa will resume service.
Trains 22, 24, 26 and 28, leaving from Ottawa, will be resuming service.
Trains 33, 35, 37 and 39, leaving from Québec City, will resume service.
