Guelph Police confirmed the fatality but said they cannot provide details about the nature of the incident at this time.
They said the investigation is ongoing and further updates will be provided after family of the victim has been notified.
The collision took place in single-track territory, and GO Transit said this is contributing to both the duration and scale of the disruption.
