HBR derailment

[[e-mail] [Canadian-Passenger-Rail]]

The Hudson Bay Railway dumped another grain in the bush near Cormorant MB, between The Pas and Wabowden. I would imagine the VIA set north of the derailment will continue to run between Thompson and Churchill.

The first VIA  press release  on August 14 states that Train 692 will be departing Churchill  on   Friday Aug. 15th. at midnight (12:00 am)  and operating 4.5 hours late all along the route to Winnipeg.
A subsequent press release states that  the service will be interrupted between Thompson and The Pas. Passengers will be offered alternate transportation.
Trains 692 and 693  will continue to operate between Churchill and Thompson , andThe Pas and Winnipeg according to the  normal schedule.
