What happened to #1 after Winnipeg?
Author: stuporchief

Reporting indicates The Canadian (westbound) left Winnipeg after midnight 3'16" late and then arrived at its next station, Portage la Prairie, 19'30" late this evening. Freight derailment seems most likely?

Oops - I asked the same question! I did notice that to the south, Amtrak's Empire Builder was also "weather delayed" - parallel to the Canadian's route for the most part.

Now that's a major delay in an area of mostly double track.  Would love to know what happened.

Also at some point they would have had to get a new crew account hours of service.  Made me wonder if they reversed back to Winnipeg instead of sitting out there is severe cold.

From another source I was told there were mechanical problems at Winnipeg with the train departing there 19 hours late.
