Comments on: HBRY 5005 SD50 (ex-NREX, exx-UP 9835, exx-MP 5002) sits idle in the HBR yard in Thompson, MB beside VIA #693 which has backed into the station. Passengers have detrained and mill about enjoying the shortened stop on this warm and sunny August 1st afternoon. The trailing passenger car on #693 today is sleeper VIA 8202 Chateau Bienville. It is my home away from home for a couple of days. It won’t be long before the call to board is made and the train will once again be on the slow and scenic move to its destination in Churchill, MB.
