Caption: VIA 693 had backed into Churchill station for an on time arrival at 09:00 on the morning of August 2, 2022. That same equipment consist was fueled, watered, and otherwise prepared for a southbound journey as VIA 690 that same evening. Here we see passengers gathered on the platform at 19:05 with their checked baggage piled high in several locations waiting for it to be loaded into the VIA service truck parked between the station and passenger equipment. Along with the checked bags to be brought forward to the baggage car, the maintenance person was also loading soiled linens from the Chateau sleeping car. Passenger vans from various tour companies also travelled onto the platform to deliver luggage directly to the baggage car for departing Churchill visitors as well. Other than the odd passenger getting in the way, the whole operation of loading luggage and moving vehicles along the platform was a well orchestrated dance that had obviously occurred many times before.
