North of Gillam, between Amery and Charlebois, MB, the Hudson Bay Railway main line is not quite as pretty as your normal track structure. In this pic, crews are working hard to replace ties and tamp track to provide a safer and more comfortable ride for both passengers and cargo alike. The only way in or out of this portion of the line is by rail. The roads stop just outside of Gillam. The vegetation continues to get shorter, thinner, and more sparse as you get closer to Churchill.

    Barren railroading and it’s fascinating.

    “Any idea what was at the end of the branch to kischiayamweekemow?” – this mystery has been bugging me, but I finally figured it out – it was a mine.
    Confirmed it here:
