VIA 693 The Hudson Bay in Churchill, MB. Arriving earlier in the day at 09:30, VIA 693's consist gets cleaned, serviced, fueled, and otherwise prepared for its south bound return journey as VIA 692 at 19:30 this same evening. Looks like a high load of baggage or some other piece of equipment has knocked the station name sign from the north corner of the building overhang. The station track has been completely rebuilt since my visit there in August of 2022. New ties, rail, ballast and surfacing has made quite a difference. :-) What a great place to visit!!!
