We did that last night with some extra service late, late.
And now we're going to be focused on orderly resumption of service, hopefully in time
to operate tomorrow when the world will be getting a little bit back to normal.
So that's the approach that we take.
Safety first, you know, and taking account of where the snow accumulations and the drifting may have impacted on service.
You know, one thing to bear in mind is in our big train yards, that's where we tend to get the biggest drifting issues.
And sometimes that inhibits your ability to put cars
into the system, into service.
So we'll be digging out from in the yards and making sure that, again, the third rail and the tracks themselves are clear of snow.

I'll tell you the absolute truth.
I have no idea whatsoever.
