Workers in Canada’s largest city struggled to get home Tuesday after the regional rail system was hit by a “network-wide system failure” caused by an internet collapse at Canadian National Railway Co.

Unusually long lines of people were still waiting for trains to depart downtown around 7 p.m. Toronto time. Metrolinx, the government agency that operates a sprawling rail and bus service between Toronto and its suburbs, said it was attempting to run trains every 30 minutes out of Union Station, Toronto’s central rail hub, which is located in the financial district.
