Thank you for the question, MP Kramp-Neuman.
To refer back to the original portion, you mentioned houses within a stone's throw. There was a subdivision nearby where there was no hydro as well. We were on an embankment with a creek running below the embankment, and to get there you had to go through a forested area. Even in daylight, emergency services had to work to get into that location.
We did not see it as a safe environment to attempt to detrain passengers, when they did have light and heat, to an area that did not have light and heat.
