OTTAWA — The head of Via Rail says a train delay over the Labour Day long weekend was an isolated incident.
Mario Péloquin appeared in front of a parliamentary committee to answer to an incident that stranded passengers between Montreal and Quebec City for 10 hours as they ran out of food, water and working toilets.
Péloquin says the delays in 2022 were caused by an ice storm that had caused a tree to fall on the railway, while the latest incident was due to two separate mechanical failures. Péloquin says the company has now implemented a new evacuation process but it wouldn’t have done much good in the latest incident because the train was in an area where evacuation was unsafe.‘He didn’t do it’: days before execution in South Carolina, key witness says he liedTOPEKA, Kan. — The head of the U.S.
