Crews working daily to repair broken rail line to Churchill in northern Manitoba
CHURCHILL, Man. — The partnership taking over a railway that runs to Churchill in northern Manitoba says work is underway to repair tracks that have been washed out for more than a year.
Murad Al-Katib of Arctic Gateway Group says repairs began last week on the line between Gillam and Churchill.
He says crews are working each day but it’s not known when repairs will be complete.
About 20 sections of track were washed out during a flood in May 2017, halting ground transportation to Churchill.
