    I wonder if the passengers knew the engineer was so confident in being able to stop the train before collision that he jumped out.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Well we made it, 2 days on the Rocky Mountaineer, 4 on the 'Canadian'. Interestingly when the national control centre in Edmonton had a problem the WHOLE of Canada's national rail system emergency stopped, we were in the middle of BFK at the time. As for Via Rail's 'Canadian', the trains are showing their age, and being sealed window recirc air only several unwell (covid?)passengers made almost the whole train sick...

    Sounds like a nightmare. Isn't it super expensive as well?
