Woman hit by train in Beaconsfield
An 81-year-old woman is in critical condition after being hit by a train in Beaconsfield on Friday afternoon. (The Exo site shows there’s no Woodland station, as mentioned: the closest one is Beaurepaire.)

The Beaurepaire Station is located at the northern end of Woodland Avenue.

Yes, but it isn’t called Woodland Station.
Was Beaurepaire once a separate town? I can’t tell from the map.

Yes, Beaurepaire was established as a city in 1678, but now it is just an informal district in Beaconsfield.
By the way, biggest day of the year in Beaurepaire is today, live bands, garage sales and other activities: http://www.lesamisbeaurepaire.com/en/bigbeau

Yesterday, my neighbour’s sister was coming by train from Kingston to visit and the train was stopped at Vaudreil-Dorion at around the time of that accident. She had to wait about 4 hours before they could move again.
At the time, the sister was saying that there was a possible suicide on the tracks but now it looks like this was the cause.

Someone also posted to reddit saying they were stuck on a train outside Dorval for 3.5 hours, probably the same train.
There’s been no specific mention of suicide, and they may not be able to determine whether the woman was suicidal or merely disoriented.
