Copper-hunting cable crook strikes Trillium Line, shutting down O-Train service for second day

A crook, likely hunting for valuable copper, cut a signal cable on the Trillium Line while the trains were in service during the morning commute Tuesday.
The rail line was still down Wednesday morning and OC Transpo wasn’t sure when it would be running again.
Troy Charter, director of transit operations at Transpo, said trains had been running up until around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday when the signals suddenly stopped functioning.
“This is critical infrastructure for our system,”
