Canadian Railroads > The "Ocean # 15 not due into Montreal till 23:30 tonight !???

I just posted this to another site but maybe someone can help us out here?
The Ocean #15 left Matapedia 3 minutes late but at her next stop "Causapscal" she left there almost 12hours late!!!
Via is showing her arriving into Montreal at 23:30 tonight .
Can anybody provide any info???

Certainly not the norm for the Ocean as it is usually ontime or very close to it.

Update:

A Can-Pass-Rail Group message is reporting there were wheel-slip issues with engine 6445 not loading. #15 Backed up to Clark Brook and waited for an engine from #14.

-Delayed again at Mont Joli with engine issues.
-Rcrewed at Ste Florence (Original crew expired)
-Wait for meet at St. Andre (Jct with NTR freight main from the Maritimes)
-Recrewed at LaPocatiere
-Medical Emergency at St. Charles and met by paramedics at route #279 crossing.

Again....certainly not the norm for the Ocean.....but this was #15 that left Halifax on Friday the 13th!!

It's hard to imagine what ELSE could have possibly happened to that poor train!

At least they didn't hit something or someone!

Sounds like a typical day on the SW Chief. Very rare for VIA Rail to have these engine issues.

The Ocean is back to it's usual timekeeping. We just arrived in Montreal 5 min early and were early at most stations along the way.
