Probably this thread should now say "No" train to Churchill. If you haven't seen VIA's advisory (on viarail.ca), please note the following:
"Travel Advisory!
Following the closing of a portion of the railway in Northern Manitoba due to a freight train derailment, VIA RailCanada will continue offering basic rail services between Winnipeg and Gillam, until further notice.
Departures of train #692 from Gillam are scheduled on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Wednesdays' departures of train #692 will operate to The Pas. Train #693 will depart from Winnipeg on Sundays and Tuesdays. It will originate in The Pas on Fridays. Both trains will operate according to the normal schedule.
No alternate transportation between Gillam and Churchill is being offered at this time."
