Via Rail challenges CN's speed restrictions, claiming they unjustly delay thousands of daily passengers.

Via Rail is seeking a judicial review against Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) over speed restrictions on its new trains, claiming the measures cause daily delays on the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, affecting thousands of passengers. CN implemented the restrictions due to concerns about safety at rail crossings, though Via Rail argues there's no evidence of safety risks and claims CN did not provide valid reasoning for the changes. Via Rail has agreed to purchase equipment to address the issues but still seeks clarity on CN's decision-making process.
