There is a thing they do here in Northern Ontario with the train that runs to James bay on Hudson's Bay that I've heard of but never done myself . Guys that work far up in the bush prospecting for gold and trapping tell the crew what mile marker they need to stop at and the train comes to a halt and lets them off with their gear in the middle of nowhere . At an agreed upon time a week , month or whenever later it will stop there and picks them back up . You have to have some real self reliant skills to step of a train a hundred miles from the nearest civilization in the dead of winter and say " see ya next month."
