TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A passenger train was placed under quarantine Friday in northern Ontario after an undetermined illness left one woman dead and at least 10 other people sick.
Authorities said the train was carrying 230 passengers and 30 crew members. Police ordered the train station evacuated in the tiny hamlet of Foleyet.
The outbreak appeared to be contained to two cars on the train, authorities said.
The cross-country Via Rail passenger train was en route from Vancouver to Toronto. Emergency personnel received a call Friday morning and the train was met at the station in Foleyet, about 500 miles (800 kilometers) northwest of Toronto.
It must really suck to be stuck on that train, can't get off, wondering who will drop next.
