Its an approx. 50 hour trip to Churchill from Winnipeg. A long time for a 1700 km ride.

@williamturner360 When I was growing up there, the trip was 24 hours. The rail has since been privatized and the lack of maintenance sees derailments of grain-cars and big delays often on top of the extra 24 hours travel.

@williamturner360 So it only averages 21 miles per hour (33.8 kilometers per hour) ?
