Train Quarentined in Canada


A passenger train holding 230 passengers and 30 crew members was placed under quarantine today after a passenger died and 10 more became ill. The train was en route from Vancouver to Toronto. A local director of ambulance services, Steve Trinier, said that the illness could be in the nature of SARS, but might also be something as simple good poisoning or environmental toxin. One person was air-lifted to the hospital and seems to be in stable condition. They have now contained the illness to two cars of the train. For more on this story, click here.
