The Forgotten Route and the Hudson Bay Line
H S Potter, president of the On to the Bay Association, urges the West not to forget the Hudson Bay route through the Churchill port. He notes the roadbed and passing tracks are in good shape and 2,500,000 bushels of wheat stored at Churchill remain well preserved, while facilities are underused amidst war traffic. He argues timber shipments could move via Churchill year round with simple icebreak measures and track layouts on the ice if needed. He cites a $50 million asset and calls for renewed effort to gain greater consideration for this route.
