A few problems keeping The Canadian on time over the holidays, ice storms, heavy freight traffic..
We were 5 hours late leaving Toronto on the 21st, over nine late arriving in Edmonton on the 24th.
CN is moving a lot of freight on their transcon, dispatching was pretty good, many rolling meets but there were a lot of them. There was an hour delay approaching Calder yard trying to get into Edmonton Stn.
No major problems on board, frozen shower drains but it was -35C in Winnipeg. Food and service were excellent as always on these trains.
I see #1 was supposed to leave Toronto last night but will leave tonight (Jan. 1), instead.
Riding #2 on the 4th, hope it's not too late getting into Edmonton.
