For passengers aboard a Toronto\u002Dbound Via Rail train Saturday, their journey was more like a Nightmare Before Christmas than the magic of Polar Express.

The journey had been going quite normally up until Napanee. At that point the train had to begin slowing to a stop at every level crossing, likely because of the blowing snow and power outages. Lunn said the train was buffeted by the wind like an airplane during turbulence and she could see whiteout conditions from her window.

“We were watching their progress on Via’s train tracker and it was all going well until around Napanee when we could see it was slowing down and then came to a stop. Kalinowski watched the train creep into Cobourg, then it stopped completely just west of Cobourg at around 11 p.m.Article content Kalinowski’s parents texted that one woman had vomited on the floor and that the toilet in their car was plugged.

Lunn said the Via crew seemed to be doing their best, but she’s not happy with the experience. She and other passengers say they expect compensation from Via.
