Regretfully, the waiter explained that the strawberries loaded on the train turned out to be spoiled

Reminds me of what happened to us when we look the Illinois Central from Chicago to New Orleans many years ago.

At breakfast time, the train stopped unexpectedly in the middle of a small town. We looked out to see what has going on. We saw the conductor running from the train into town. A few minutes later he came running back with a shopping bag.

The train dining car had run our of eggs, and the conductor ran into town to get a few dozen.
