Original Toronto Star caption: Hurry up and wait: People from all walks of life are affected by the rail strike; including those who though they were going to have a good time riding the rails on their summer holidays. These disgruntled people outside Union Station yesterday; part of a tour group stranded in Toronto; are waiting for a bus to take them to Windsor. Negotiations were to resume today in Montreal.
