Mohawk protesters temporarily blocked rail service between Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario.
On Friday morning, the protesters blocked the Canada National line with an old school bus. They said they would leave it up for 48 hours to call attention to a land claim involving a quarry.
CN obtained an injunction on Friday afternoon but the protesters ignored it. After about 30 hours, they removed the bus early Saturday morning.
The Canadian government says it is negotiating the land claim. Protest leader Shawn Brant said other disruptions are being planned if the dispute isn't resolved.
