Passenger Trains > Amtrak/VIA N.A. Rail Pass question

Has anyone ever tried booking a North American Rail Pass with a gap in their travel route? For example, get off at a station and reboard at a different station? The reason I ask is I am contemplating a trip this spring; my third using the Rail Pass. What I would like to do is get off #7 at Grand Forks, ND, travel by other means to Winnipeg, MB, and board VIA #1 there to head towards Kamloops, BC. Grand Forks and Winnipeg are less than 3 hours apart by highway and it would same me some time if it is doable. Any advice is appreciated.

That shouldn't be a prpblem as I have had gaps in mine before and it worked out. I used it twice on My Reclaiming Canada Trip for my sobriety and My 33 Day Train Trip.

incidently there is a Jefferson Line bus (one a day I think) between Fargo, Grand Forks, and Wiinipeg

Thanks for the replies, I checked into the bus connection and it misses VIA #1 in Winnipeg by about 90 minutes. It's a 2 day wait for the next train, so I'm probably best to eat the one-way penalty for a rental car from Grand Forks to Winnipeg.

One other question, any rumors as to upcoming timetable changes in the spring?
