The train stops for 3 hours in Winnipeg when it's on time. Most passengers get off for a look around. Winnipeg is where the train crews change (engineers excepted).
I got as far the opposite side of the street from the station before I wimped out and went back inside. Apparently it was only -18ºC heading for a low of -24ºC but it already felt colder than that to me.
So much for the 3 hour walking tour.
Fred relaxing in the station. A nice change from his kennel in the baggage car.
Melanie finds Fred's 'soft spot'.
In the dog world Fred may be the closest thing to a polar bear. Look at the size of those feet!
Fred is now at his new home in Montreal. The story of his trip got a lot of coverage on the CBC news last night.
I'm away on a train trip. I don't have a lot of images in the photo barrel so posts may be sporadic and of the 'what I did on my winter vacation' variety.

What a cute fluffball and a touching story. So glad all ended well for Fred.
Glad to hear Fred is home now. Thanks for introducing us to him. What a dear he is. Love his polar bear feet!! Makes one just want to cuddle with him -:)
Such a gorgeous dog - hope he'll settle in well in his new home. That does sound cold in Winnipeg!
he is such a teddy bear.
Cute little moggie. Nice photo of the station with the lighting, but - only minus 18 degrees? Only? I coudln't ever imagine anything that cold. When it gets down to 4ºC that's really cold. Average is around 7ºC though.
Cheers.

It takes reminders of the temperatures in Winnipeg to put our cold problem in perspective - love the dog.
