2011 CHURCHILL OR BUST DAY 7 ON THE TRAIN!

When we got to The Pas we found Bev at G & L Self Storage and dropped off our motorcycle where it would be safe until our return. We checked in the Wancanda Motel (don't ask) and to got a few hours shut eye the then headed for the train station at 2:30 in the morning. Hot, muggy, and buggy is all I can say. We were the only ones to get on the train which was coming from Winnepeg. The train had cooling so life was good even though we did not depart until 3:30 which was an hour late. Never could figure out why, I guess they wanted to make sure that the train that arrived 15 minutes early would depart an hour late....they were successful. Over the whole trip the train averaged 12.9 MPH, I'm not kidding. This was definetly the slowest train I've ever been on. Oh well we're on vacation, good times!
