The morning trains from Montreal and Ottawa were unable to pass the derailment, and passengers on either train had to be transferred to the other, which then returned to the points from which they had set out earlier. While this caused some considerable delay in passenger traffic, the track was opened during the day, and traffic quickly restored to its normal condition.
