According to the Winnipeg Free Press (On line Edition posted 8:39 pm) it was the train  from Thompson to Churchill due into Churchill Saturday. 'VIA Rail would only say that the train has been cancelled for operational reasons and that they are trying to confirm availability of alternate transportation to be offered to passengers  travelling  from Thompson to Churchill'
This would be Train 693
