I tried posting this Wednesday morning; but problems with the site prevented my post from appearing. So I'll try again...
In Wednesday's (12 March) editions of Le Soleil and Le Journal de Québec (local French-language dailies) there were articles about a train stuck in snow since the huge snow storm Saturday night (8 March). A freight train with about 10 cars of aluminium en route to Québec City became stuck in a huge snow drift in Neuvile (just west of Québec City) late Saturday night. CN dispatched crews to dig it out; but attempts to free the train were unsuccessful, and workers were forced to wait until Tuesday. Only then, with the aid of 6 large snow blowers, were they able to clear the 10 feet of snow and free the train. The line re-opened to traffic at about 6:30 Tuesday evening (11 March).
Interesting!
At least it was ten cars of freight, not ten carloads of irate passengers.
