First it was Greyhound, now its looks as if Via Rail is looking to reduce service in northern Ontario.
Thunder Bay Councillor Iain Angus is asking municipalities across the region to support a resolution opposing any cuts in rail service.
Angus says Via has been told to cut its budget by five percent, which could result in the loss of at least one cross-country train a week.
Via currently operates its passenger trains on the CN mainline, which has stops in Redditt, Sioux Lookout and Armstrong in northwestern Ontario.
