If you haven't heard, British Columbia is having some major flooding and mudslides as we speak. According to this tweet, all rail traffic in B.C. has come to a stop. I'm wondering if VIA rail will cancel the EB Canadian. And the #5 Skeena is still showing as running.
 
State of emergency was covered on the news tonight. There are reports of vehicles trapped both under and between landslides. The train tracks parallel the highways in several of the affected areas, so the precaution of halting trains may have saved both lives and environmental damage.
