Via Rail says it will resume passenger train servicebetween Toronto and Winnipeg on Friday.


Via halted passenger service on the route following a CN freighttrain derailment in northern Ontario on March 7.

Via says an eastbound train will depart from Vancouver on April10 and a westbound train will leave Toronto on April 11.

The railway says delays may occur and it will keep its passengersinformed of any en route schedule changes.

The CN derailment near Gogama, Ont., caused numerous tank carscarrying crude oil to catch fire and spill into a local riversystem.

The Transportation Safety Board has said track failures may haveplayed a role in the derailment and has asked Transport Canada toreview the risk assessments for that stretch of track.
