VIA #1 (19) Canadian Westbound - On-time to Winnipeg then Delayed
Author: jp1822

VIA #1 (19) westbound Canadian was on-time through most all stops to even Rivers, MB (west of Winnipeg) and then it seems to have sat just east of Melville for 6.5 hours. I think the Canadian is now on the move. Typically the train makes up a LOT of time and is even early into Melville, SK. Anyone know what caused, is causing the delay? TIA!

Just as a follow-up, I can remember leaving Winnipeg at 5 pm and we'd be in Edmonton the following morning. If I am recalling that right, it was about 14 hours (with padding). Now that timing is FILLED with padding and takes 24 hours!!!

It seems to be a pattern lately: No 1 does reasonably well to Winnipeg, then gets its butt handed to it on the Rivers and Watrous subs.  Perhaps the Edmonton RTC might be the person to ask.

Looking at transitdocs location history it wasn't just sitting in one spot but lost a couple hours here and there a few times after Rivers. There's no rhyme or reason to Canadian delays.

In short, CN happens.
