What light through yonder horizon breaks?  
I know that very familiar white light on the tail end of VIA 693, but that odd combination of lights on the approaching main line train in the distance has grabbed my attention. 
After snapping several shots, and with the movement a little closer, it became quite evident that the HBR way freight was arriving in Churchill with a single-track snowplow on the point. 
It's kind of ironic that the way freight with the plow up front followed the VIA passenger train from Thompson to Churchill. Go figure! 
Capturing the plow was a great bonus to my day in Churchill. :-)
