Via Rail Delays Will Be Fewer.

 

 

 A recent string of Via Rail delays between Winnipeg and Churchill has travelers frustrated.  Their General Manager of Regional Services Michael Woelcke says they’ve been caused by what’s called slow order.  He explains at this time of year when the frost has come completely out of the ground the track infrastructure, the base below the track, gets soft and so Hudson Bay Railway and Omni Tracks who owns the rails have to go out and make repairs to the tracks to stabilize it and until they do they put what’s called a slow order which means a train has to go very slow over a particular area from a safety point of view.

            

  Woelcke says they don’t expect to see many more delays as the weather cools and repairs are done.
