Via Rail says a First Nations' railroad blockade in Marysville, near Kingston, affects the transportation of passengers between Toronto/Montreal and Toronto/Ottawa in both directions.
In a media release, Via Rails says, "there is no definitive timeline when the blockade will be lifted. Delays are to be expected. VIA Rail's foremost priority is to ensure that our customers reach their destinations as comfortably and safely as possible. Passengers with itineraries passing through the site of the blockade will be accommodated with bus transportation."

On December 30th, about 2,500 Via Rail passengers were delayed for hours when First Nations protesters first blocked the rail tracks in the Marysville area between Kingston and Belleville.
That affected passengers on 12 trains travelling to and from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
