In Around the World in Eighty Days, the travelers are going through India in chapter 11. They are taking the train from Calcutta, which cuts down the time they are spending on travel, but about fifty miles outside of Allahabad, India, they have to disembark and walk. In chapter 11 it says:

The train stopped, at eight o'clock, in the midst of a glade some fifteen miles beyond Rothal, where there were several bungalows, and workmen's cabins. The conductor, passing along the carriages, shouted, "Passengers will get out here!"

Phileas Fogg looked at Sir Francis Cromarty for an explanation; but the general could not tell what meant a halt in the midst of this forest of dates and acacias.

Passepartout, not less surprised, rushed out and speedily returned, crying: "Monsieur, no more railway!"

"What do you mean?" asked Sir Francis.

"I mean to say that the train isn't going on."

The conductor of the train orders everyone off and tells them that they need to leave—without much explanation. Fogg and Cromarty don't have any idea why they have to disembark, but Passepartout says that the track isn't finished and thus the train cannot continue. This makes Cromarty very upset, but Fogg tells him that they need to find another way to Allahabad because they are on a deadline.

Despite their anger, the conductor is nonplussed, explaining that the papers that advertised the trip were incorrect and that every passenger knows that they need to find passage to Allahabad from the place where the track stops. Passepartout remedies the situation somewhat in chapter 12 by leading them through the jungle, which saves them time and miles.
