Winnipeg: Union Station

Union Station: Victor Smyk passing time in Union Station in Winnipeg waiting for his east bound train to arrive. Mary Agnes Welch story Wayne Glowacki / Dec.23. 2013 , according to Winnipeg Free Press. With delays as long as 19 hours, Winnipeg's Union Station was part construction site, part campground and part Christmas chaos Monday as people waited for overdue loved ones to arrive and for long trips home to begin. Passengers such as Nicky and Duncan Pringle above spent hours stranded in Union Station while waiting for an eastbound train to arrive. Broken-down freight trains caused the delay.

Another man said the long wait reminded him of unreliable train service in his homeland of Egypt. And one couple trying to recreate their honeymoon had to cancel a night at a Montreal hotel and a fancy brunch because they were still stuck in Winnipeg. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
