I've got a family member who talks about his 3 day stay in Winnipeg when the train broke down on a cross country trip.
This would have been like 30/40 years ago, but he still refuses to ride the via rail to this day.
I'm surprised they still run out of water and food on these passenger trips, I know there will always be mechanical issues, but they really should be prepared.
What's even worse is that the train wasn't in bumfuck nowhere, so there is no excuse for not providing a transportation out of the train to the destination.
Or at the very least, have someone bring food and water.
