The Via passenger rail service faced significant overnight disruptions across eastern Ontario after one of its trains suffered a mechanical failure near Brockville. Passengers aboard Train 669 were reportedly stuck for over 13 hours after a “mechanical failure” occurred on the tracks. The issue also prompted delays to trains 48 and 54, according to a statement from Via Rail.

Michael Mackay, a passenger who was delayed for over 16 hours said "It was just frustrating not to have information and know where we’re going to go."

Via Rail said replacement buses were unavailable. Passengers on the stranded train were shifted to other trains that were used to rescue those aboard the disabled one; those trains were also then delayed by several hours. Via Rail has since apologized for the delays and is reviewing what happened. Sean O’Shea reports.
