Churchill train arrival
I left Winnipeg on May 22, 2000 in spring time and arrived the other morning at Churchill in freezing fog...
While the train was backing into the station track I quickly packed my belongings into the Backpack, grabbed the oversized camera bag (a Lowe Magnum Pro) and left my sleeping compartment to detrain among the first.
In hindsight I should have taken much more photos but I had captured the loading/unloading activity at Thompson already. Medium format film wasn't quite the bargain, roughly one buck a frame.
But in any event, riding stainless steel varnish hauled by streamliners was off my bucket list. In a sleeper, that is.
The necessary facts:
VIA Rail train 693 from Winnipeg has arrived in Churchill on the dreary morning of May 23, 2000. 6311 got assistance by 6304 from Thompson to the Hudson Bay.
It is the first time I processed this slide which ran through the Nikon a whopping eleven years ago.
