A train derailment west of Montreal disrupted service on the Exo commuter train line Wednesday morning.
A freight train derailed near Dorion station at around 9 a.m., according to an Exo spokesperson.
As a result, service has been stopped between the Vaudreuil and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue stations on the Vaudreuil-Hudson line in both directions.
As of 1:30 p.m., service had not been restored.
According to Exo, none of its trains were involved in the incident.
To get around during this interruption, commuters can take the 40 bus that connects Vaudreuil to the Côte-Vertu Metro station. There is also the 1232 bus, which serves the Île-Perrot, Pincourt, Dorion and Vaudreuil areas.
