It was full of details about people trudging through the snow and cold and how elderly passengers either tried to make it or had to wait for vehicles later to cross a frozen pond. Perhaps it really affects me because I rode the Empire Builder a couple of years ago and remember the trip fondly. To have it spoiled in this absurd fashion would have outraged me. And then when I hear some 50 freights were delayed...that's an amazing amount of commerce interrupted by one guy! I hope they throw the book at him!I read that some people were hurt when they fell. Had it not been for that idiot's (alleged) remarks, they would not have had to leave the train and would not have been hurt. Hope that idiot can be held accountable for that!
