New Photos Posted
I’ve posted three sets of photos.
I’ve taken some photos in Winnipeg today of The Forks Market. It’s pretty much the Historic Properties (Hfx) of Winnipeg and less than a block out the back door of the Via Rail station.
Tonight the train will be leaving for Churchill. Two days up, and two days back. I may not be able to communicate for those times but should have a good update when I get back. I’m going to have to overnight in Winnipeg before catching the train eastward bound the next day. There’s a hostel for $18 a night, or I noticed a Hampton Inn only a couple of blocks from the Station on the way to the Library. They usually have reasonable rates, high speed internet, and a continental breakfast included.
The pocketful of Cdn coins Mark handed me has gone a long way. With all the granola bars, etc. that I had packed, I didn’t even have to eat on the train. There was an hour stopover in Jasper, so I reloaded on 3 cokes, a litre of water, and a turkey sandwich and salad at the local IGA. I only had to buy a few cokes on the train. What can I say? I’m a cokaholic!
Train to Churchill leaves at 8:25pm tonight. Not sure if I’ll get any other posts made before then.
Currently listening to Bachman-Turner-Overdrive – Portage and Main. (

Hotshot, great job on your blog. I'm doing a similar live rail travelogue on blogger at manypims.blogspot.com. I'll definitely give you a plug. Keep up the good work.
