GO train management says Monday’s stranding of the 5.30 service to Richmond Hill happened because of the time it took for the engineer to run to the opposite end of the train. At 5.45 p.m., GO control told the driver to reverse the train and come back to Union Station. But the water was rising so swiftly, the hike back through the 280 metre-long train took long enough for the flood to surround the train.
