Passenger train service from Montreal to Toronto is being cancelled again Sunday because of a protest near Belleville, Ont.&nbsp;

Via Rail says trains between Toronto and&nbsp;Ottawa,&nbsp;and Toronto and Montreal, will stay in the station until the situation is resolved.

The cancellations are not affecting the stretch between Montreal and Ottawa.

Members of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory have been blocking the line as a show of support for the Wet'suwet'en Nation in British Columbia, which has been protesting construction of a natural gas pipeline.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Via Rail has cancelled dozens of departures since the demonstrations started on Thursday.

"We are aware that this situation, which is unfortunately beyond our control, has an impact on our customers and we apologize for the inconvenience this situation is causing," the Crown corporation said in a statement Sunday.&nbsp;

Day 4: RCMP continue enforcement against Wet'suwet'en over pipeline injunction

It is day four of the RCMP's enforcement of an injunction order in northern B.C. to ensure that Coastal GasLink and its contractors can resume work in a disputed area of the pipeline route in the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en nation.

CN obtains injunction to end Tyendinaga Mohawk rail demonstration

CN Rail has obtained a court injunction to end a demonstration by members of the Tyendinaga Mohawk territory that's halted rail traffic between Toronto and both Ottawa and Montreal for three days.

Mohawks from Tyendinaga moved a dump truck with a snowplow toward a rail line in a protest Thursday supporting the Wet'suwet'en opponents of a natural gas pipeline which faced an RCMP raid on Thursday morning.

CN Rail, which also ships freight on the rail line,&nbsp;obtained a court injunction to end the demonstrations.&nbsp;

The injunction, which does not name any individual, was issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto on Friday.

It forbids any continued interference with the rail line under the threat of arrest, and was served to demonstrators by CN police Saturday afternoon.

Via Rail cancelled 28 trains between Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto on Friday, after protesters blocked a railway in support of the We'tsuwet'en First Nation in B.C., and its standoff with the RCMP. 

Tyendinaga Mohawk Police Chief Jason Brant said at least five people were involved in the action and they had gathered by the tracks just across from the Tyendinaga Mohawk reserve boundary.
