TORONTO (Reuters) -Canadian National Railway Co (CN) said on Tuesday evening an internet connectivity failure that led to signal issues and long delays and cancellations for Toronto rush-hour commuters had been resolved.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of train commuters in Canada's biggest city Toronto were forced to make alternative arrangement to reach home after Ontario regional transit operator Metrolinx temporarily halted its Toronto-area commuter trains and warned travelers to expect further disruptions through the evening.
