A train derailment in St. Catharines, Ont., has caused a service disruption on the Lakeshore West trains in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines.
GO trains, Welland Canal impacted
Niagara police said Monday morning there was a train blocking Glendale Avenue near Keele Street. Later in the morning, police said the road blockage had been cleared.
Metrolinx said midday Monday GO train services are suspended between Confederation GO in Stoney Creek and Niagara Falls GO “due to a freight train issue.” That means service to St. Catharines GO is also suspended.
People can board the route 12 GO bus to Burlington GO for the train connection, Metrolinx said.
“It is strongly encouraged that non-essential travel is reconsidered, as bus service is limited.”
Nicole Giroux, spokesperson with the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, said there was “limited delays to vessel traffic” Monday afternoon as a result of the derailment. The rail bridge at lock four at the canal was affected.
“We anticipate one-way vessel traffic to resume shortly,” Giroux said. “We will continue to monitor the situation, with a return to normal operations as conditions allow.”
