The last train to #Churchill arrived on May 23, the morning when floods washed out the track connecting this frontier town in northern #Manitoba on the edge of Hudson Bay — and it hasn’t moved since. The train brought not only tourists — who came for polar bears in the fall and beluga whales in the summer — but also supplied just about everything in the town, including lumber and cars. Notoriously high to begin with, the price of groceries in Churchill has skyrocketed, since supplies now arrive by plane. Even with emergency government subsidies in place, a 4-liter jug of milk that once cost 6.19 Canadian dollars, or nearly $5, now rings in at 10.89. But OmniTRAX, the Denver-based company that owns most of the railway, says it can’t justify spending an estimated 20 to 60 million Canadian dollars to fix the money-losing rail line, particularly in a warming climate. “To fix things in this era of climate change, well, it’s fixed but you don’t count on it being the fix forever,” said the railway engineer hired by OmniTRAX to assess the damage. “Things are changing that we can’t arrest or change or govern.” @ianwillms took this photo of Pudgie Whitmore jumping into the frigid harbour at the unused Port of Churchill; swipe left to see more of his photos from this suddenly isolated #Canadian town.
