this is why I love Canada

Quote :

A train rolled into Churchill, Man., on Wednesday evening for the first time in more than a year after spring flooding damaged the tracks and severed the town's only land link to the rest of the province.

The train pulled in just before 6:45 p.m. CT on Wednesday ahead of a photo-op with government officials and media. Freight and passenger service is expected to resume to the northern community later this fall, with heavier loads beginning in the spring.

Still, its arrival surprised many of the residents, who hadn't expected it to arrive until the next day.

People, including many kids in Halloween costumes, rushed down to the tracks to watch the arrival. Many smiled and took pictures, while others hugged each other.

Rhoda de Meulles was handing out candy to trick-or-treaters at her home when she heard the blast of the train's horn.

"Our hearts are just filled with joy right now," she said.
