The start of a long trip
Mark Sorensen unloading
Andy Quass riding it down. Note warm weather

Sometimes the bugs were bad.
Track gang. Notice the van with rail wheels.
Ice cream was popular at Waboden

Passenger Train
Living quarters for the track gangs, called the White Fleet
Heat pipes are supposed to keep the ground frozen, but they are not maintained.

It gets boring at times
More heat pipes cooling the permafrost
Rough track, despite all that ballast

VIA cancelled passenger service a couple of weeks later until the track is improved.
Duct tape solved carb icing problems
Beginning to see one-sided trees due to the winter wind. Notice lots of branches down low, protected from the wind by snow.

Osprey nest
Famous phone booth at the beach
Tundra inspection

More tundra inspection
Tundra flowers
Tundra flowers

Some snow remains, even in June
The entire railroad used these phone and telegraph line supports.
Finally we arrive in Churchill after three days on the rails
