A First Nations railroad blockade in southern Ontario has forced Via Rail to stop all trains on the Montreal-Toronto line.


The blockade is at Marysville, Ont., between Belleville and Kingston.


Via Rail's media relations manager Jacques C. Gagnon said Marysville is a popular site for railroad blockades.


"We had hints since late last night that there would be a blockade," Gagnon said.


Train service between Montreal and Ottawa is still running.


However, trains travelling in the Montreal-Toronto corridor have been replaced by chartered buses.
