One man is dead after being struck by a Via Rail train near Highway 2 in Wellington, N.S., on Saturday.
Emergency crews responded to a report of a person being struck by a passenger train travelling to Halifax just before 6:30 p.m., according to a news release from RCMP.
Police said a 41-year-old man from Fletchers Lake was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers also found an ATV in the area.
"No passengers or on-train service crew were injured during the incident," said a statement from Via Rail.
An investigation into the incident is underway.

Health Minister Adriana LaGrange is alleging the former CEO of Alberta Health Services was unwilling and unable to implement the government's plan to break up the health authority, became "infatuated" with her internal investigation into private surgical contracts and made "incendiary and inaccurate allegations about political intrigue and impropriety" before she was fired in January.
