Remarks & Notes

December 22 Frostbite Flashback. In December 1989 a good friend and I booked a rountrip ticket on the Canadian between Winnipeg and Calgary to experience the train on its historic CP routing (it would shift to a CN routing in January 1990). What I recall most about that trip was the brutal (even for my northern Minnesota standards) cold. The HIGH temp in Winnipeg on 12/22 was -13F. I recall us stopping a few times so frozen pipes could be thawed and steam pressure built back up. The steam heat really caused issues.
