Canadian Sunrise

I stumbled across this video by Dormitator1 of VIA 693 (the Hudson Bay) idling in The Pas, Manitoba. Check out the car on the end of the train!


Anyone have any information on this car? I see Canadian Sunrise is numbered HBRY 800576.

Keewatin Railway Video

Here's a video of the Keewatin Railway mixed train leaving The Pas, Manitoba. The Keewatin Railway is Manitoba's first native-owned railway and operates from The Pas to Lynn Lake over the former CN Sherridon subdivision.

The train is awesome... two M-420s on the head end, some old freight cars in the middle, and three VIA blue-and-yellow cars on the end. The cars are still owned by VIA and are listed as the The Pas-Pukatawagan train, running twice weekly.

This next video shows the train being put together. This time the power is one M-420 and one leased Hudson Bay Railway GP40-2.

Both videos are by Dormitator1.

Hudson Bay Railway Locomotives

Dormitator1 posted a walk-about video showing some Hudson Bay Railway locomotives. Normally I dislike this kind of video, where the videographer moves but the locos don't, but the subject matter is interesting enough to make it worthwhile. Of special interest to me was a glimpse of OSS 3757 at about 1:15 in the video. 3757 is ex-NBSR 3757, a GP9E.
