Churchill yard engine HLCX 1084 idles away next to VIA 8229 Chateau Viger sleeper in the HBR Churchill yard Mile 509.8 Herchmer Sub. on October 22, 2026. The yard engines next move will be taking a string of loaded grain hoppers to the dumper building at the port. VIA 8229 will carry the markers (or paddle) when it departs Churchill as the trailing car on VIA 692 later this same day.

    Thanks Terry. It was a great day in Churchill with lots of action in the HBR yard and around the station building. The sun is low and fast this time of year which makes it difficult to snag perfect well-lit shots. :-)
