Reflected train ride

I took a late train to Kuopio after work. It was supposed to be at Kuopio at about 23:30. Cold weather (though at Helsinki it was just - 13 C) delayed a lot of trains and mine left ~ 45 minutes late. Otherwise the journey went well until we were close to Pieksämäki. It was - 30 C. The brakes of the train got frozen and the emergency brakes went on. The train staff got it fixed in about half an hour and the journey continued for another half an hour until the same problem was repeated. It was fixed this time too.

The third time it happened (just 20 km from Kuopio) things weren't as "easily" sorted out and they asked for a locomotive from Kuopio to come and pull the whole train. It took a lot of time before it arrived and when it did it drove slowly. We arrived to Kuopio 4 hours late.
