VIA 693 The Hudson Bay is making a scheduled station stop at Wabowden, MB Mile 136.4 HBR Wekusko Sub. on this beautiful September 18, 2024 morning. Supplies are off loaded, passengers get a chance to stretch their legs, and, VIA performs an unscheduled crew change.
Radio troubles in what was lead unit VIA 6433 has the train running 6+ hours late at Wabowden due to overnight switching moves to reverse the two locomotives putting VIA 6419 in the lead. The new crew was trucked out in the white van to the remote location to take over the throttle. 
All part of the fun and adventure of riding this iconic train to Churchill. :-)
