My thought. Passenger trains are far more accommodable than airplanes today. They’re stocked with supplies enough for several days at least. They probably won’t have to resort to cannibalism.

In 1972 or 73, my wife and I took AMTRACK from Chicago to DC. The food had been stolen from the train before we left the Chicago yards. Tornadoes devastated Cincinnati, knocking out all power. Our train was delayed and hand switched through town. 8 hours late to DC making a 24 hour run into more than 30. No food, no coffee, no liquor; the little kids really suffered.
