Canadian Railroads > Consist of Churchill Train 693 at WinnipegDate: 05/14/22 09:46 Consist of Churchill Train 693 at Winnipeg Author: viatrainrider Someone recently made inquiry as to the consist of train 693 to Churchill. I was in WPG recently and can give you this without car numbers as I viewed the train from a distance at the Forks tower.
2 engines Bag (on head where it belongs) 3 coaches Skyline Sleeper I was surprised at the number of people in the station waiting to board. I did not realize many people went north at this time of year.

They said there will be no dining service till the new year... So that's when I will do the trip. I don't understand with the "skyline dome" in the consist that they would not or couldn't provide hot meals for the sleeping car passengers for some reason??? I think the lost a lot of high paying sleeper passengers. Just my opinion...

Neither company seems to want to actually run trains.
