Rail Strike Ends as Trains Roll Out of Toronto
The rail strike is over and a back to work order was issued last night. Train No 708 headed to Owen Sound as the first departure, with additional services following after midnight. Pilot trains carried freight to inspect signals while crews resume operations. A backlog of malt, freight, and express will take days to clear after the nine day shutdown. The government acted swiftly to end the dispute and the Senate passed the necessary law Tuesday night. Newspapers sent by mail will be late this week as second class mail and last week's papers are distributed.
