He says transit service will run on a modified service and commuters should check schedules online for further details.

Metrolinx, the provincial government agency that runs GO Transit, has said a slow-moving train leaving Union Station came off the track and made contact with a track switch.

The accident caused signal problems and reduced the movement of other trains, causing major delays at Canada’s busiest train station.

The derailment also caused a temporary suspension of the UP Express train service between Union Station and Toronto Pearson International Airport.
