NORTH TO CHURCHILL BY ROAD & RAIL! (My 1,000 km trip across Manitoba on VIA Rail's Hudson Bay line)

The magnum opus of my road (and rail!) trip across central Canada was the seaside town of Churchill, Manitoba in the far northern reaches of the province. Accessible only by air and rail, I opted for the latter, and planned to catch the semi-daily train service from Thompson, Manitoba. After renting a car at the Winnipeg Airport, I headed north on Manitoba's remote and rugged Highway 6 and bisected the province from south to north.

My journey took me through the beautiful Interlake Region, straddling the shores of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg as I made my way to the small village of Grand Rapids, then onward to Thompson, with a short stop at the beautiful Pisew Falls Provincial Park (one of Manitoba's most scenic attractions!).

After wandering Thompson (not much there), I boarded the train and began the 16-hour trip north to the town of Churchill on one of the roughest railways in the world (it washed out a couple of years ago!), crossing bog and muskeg, creeping our way north. The arduous trip was worth it, I'd learn, as I would have beluga whales & polar bears awaiting me in Churchill - one of the world's premier wildlife safari destinations outside of Africa.
