Summary:

Crossing one of Canada's 10 provinces, Manitoba from South to North, the Winnipeg to Churchill train is filmed from above as it winds through snow-covered grasslands, Canada's Boreal Forest and into the frozen barren lands, just below the Arctic Circle. It's a constant struggle to keep on track as engineers battle with snow and ice in temperatures that reach as low as minus 45.
